International Right to Know Campaign Promotes Disclosure of Global Corporate Impacts

In a recent report, the International Right to Know Campaign outlines the benefits of corporate disclosure of global environmental and social policies and practices...The McDonald's case study illustrates the use of child labor in China to produce its Happy Meal toys, the Nike case study focuses on labor rights abuses in Indonesia, and the Unocal case study discusses human rights abuses in its use of security forces in Burma. The ExxonMobil case study alone illustrates several of the environmental as well as human rights abuses that the IRTK guidelines are meant to expose.
