For the book itself, many thanks to Michelle Billington and Louise Stubbs, plus the Hodder input from Beth Cleall and Melissa Richards. Personally, the most important input came from my 3-year-old grandson James, whose question: ‘Why do shops die?’ deserves a 12-mark exam question of its own.

  • Corporate Responsibility for Human Rights in Assam Tea Plantations: a Business and Human Rights Approach
    sustainability Article Corporate Responsibility for Human Rights in Assam Tea Plantations: A Business and Human Rights Approach Madhura Rao 1 and Nadia Bernaz 2,* 1 Food Claims Centre Venlo, Maastricht University, 5911 BV Venlo, The Netherlands; [email protected] 2 Law Group, Wageningen University, 6708 PB Wageningen, The Netherlands * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 July 2020; Accepted: 7 September 2020; Published: 9 September 2020 Abstract: This paper explores how UK-based companies deal with their responsibility to respect the human rights of Assam (India) tea plantation workers. Through qualitative content analysis of publicly available corporate reports and other documents, it investigates how companies approach and communicate their potential human rights impacts. It highlights the gap between well-documented human rights issues on the ground and corporate reports on these issues. It aims to answer the following research question: in a context where the existence of human rights violations at the end of the supply chain is well-documented, how do companies reconcile their possible connection with those violations and the corporate responsibility to respect human rights under the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights? This paper reveals the weakness of the current corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach from the perspective of rights-holders. It supports a business and human rights approach, one that places the protection of human rights at its core. Keywords: tea plantations; Assam; business and human rights; corporate social responsibility; UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights; UK Modern Slavery Act 1. Introduction This paper explores how UK-based tea companies deal with their responsibility to respect the human rights of Assam tea plantation workers.

  • Business Accountability for Human Rights Violations in the Assam Tea
    A Bitter Brew: Business Accountability for Human Rights Violations in the Assam Tea Supply Chain Madhura Rao Researcher Madhura Rao MSc Food Safety, Wageningen University Registration number: 950316680040 Supervisor & Examiner A Dr. Nadia Bernaz Law and Governance Group, Wageningen University Examiner B Dr. Kai Purnhagen Law and Governance Group, Wageningen University Image on the cover page retrieved from www.reuters.com I AKNOWLEDGEMENT First and foremost, I would like to thank my MSc thesis supervisor, Dr. Nadia Bernaz, for her valuable feedback, support, and immense patience with my initial lack of familiarity with the topic of business and human rights. I would like to express my gratitude towards Green Office, Wageningen and Studium Generale, Wageningen for giving me the opportunity to work with them on the lecture series on Modern Slavery and practically apply the knowledge I gained during my thesis. I would also like to acknowledge the support of all my colleagues from the Law & Governance group of Wageningen University and thank them for their insights and encouragement throughout my research. Lastly, I would like to thank my family, without whose moral and financial support, I would not have had the opportunity to be a part of the Wageningen UR family and pursue this research. II ABSTRACT Assam tea is globally celebrated for it brisk, malty flavour. It is an irreplaceable ingredient in several breakfast tea blends around the world and provides much impetus to the Indian economy. Images of cheerful, saree-clad women picking leaves in the lush Assamese tea gardens are often the face of packaged Assam tea.
