"Social Welfare or Warfare"
In the Developed World there is growing scrutiny within Government, action groups and the media with regard to the ethical sourcing of products and services. There is hardly any industry that has escaped investigation, including our own, whether it be on moral grounds or from the shallower perspective of creating sensational press.
Is your company doing enough to satisfy both your moral obligation to those within the industry and are your efforts focused in a manner that protects you from allegations of exploitation?
John Snell's in-depth and interactive presentation and discussion addressed these hard questions, explored the industry's current position and sought to offer solutions by explaining existing mechanisms and examining the effectiveness of current structures.
