Press Release: Swiss fertiliser traders implicated in human rights violations in Morocco

The Moroccan state-owned company OCP is polluting the air with its fertiliser factories, thereby harming the health of its employees and of the local population. According to a new report by Bread for all, SWISSAID and Catholic Lenten Fund at least eleven Swiss commodity traders have a commercial relationship with OCP which means they are implicated in human rights violations and environmental pollution in Morocco. This underlines the urgency of the Responsible Business Initiative that will be at issue once again in the National Council next week.
