  • CASE STUDY: PRIMARK the Corporate Impact of Human Rights Abuse and Effective Due Diligence
    CASE STUDY: PRIMARK The Corporate Impact of Human Rights Abuse and Effective Due Diligence Abstract Primark has refocused its corporate social responsibility in response to the deadly Rana Plaza tragedy, implementing key ethical initiatives to ensure supplier compliance with ethical standards and increased transparency surrounding employment practices. Human rights PR scandals have had a lasting impact on consumer perception of the Primark brand, illustrating the necessity of acting pre-emptively to mitigate latent risks within the supply chain. Primark’s prioritisation of worker rights through the reformation of their auditing process and application of meaningful due diligence has been largely successful in addressing supply chain human rights abuses, particularly where workers have been personally engaged to provide authentic testimony about working conditions. Primark has contributed significant resources to promoting sustainable sourcing, in a wider attempt to destigmatise the consumer notion that ‘fast fashion’ perpetuates unethical practices, and to make amends for historically poor labour practices. Introduction Jack Cohen, founder of Tesco’s, famously claimed that success in business is simple; “pile it high, sell it cheap”. Few companies reflect this philosophy more astutely than Primark. The high street fashion retailer, owned by Associated British Foods, has seen impressive increases in revenue over the last decade: from £1.6 billion in 2007 to £7.1 billion in 2017. Primark’s business model is responsible for the company’s rapid expansion. The ‘fast fashion’ trend popularised by the retailer has won over consumers through wholesale undercutting of high street competitors. Primark has become a driving force in the fashion industry. Where consumers are increasingly conscious of their spending, Primark’s universal appeal and accessibility have driven its UK fashion industry market share to 7%, second only to Marks and Spencer’s at 7.5%.

  • Solid Foundations on Common Ground: Nevis' Multiform
    Solid Foundations on Common Ground: Nevis’ Multiform Foundations Ordinance Jan Dash, Esq., L.E.C., TEP Liburd and Dash, Attorneys-at-Law www.LiburdDash.com [email protected] “Solid Foundations on Common Ground” © 2008 Jan Dash, Esq., L.E.C.,TEP. All rights reserved. For a free download of this article, please visit www.LiburdDash.com. Foundations. The legal entity known as a “foundation” has been a well- established vehicle in the civil law countries of Europe since the Middle Ages. The church, one of the most powerful institutions of the era, was frequently given assets by members of its congregation in an effort to further its beneficial mission. It was the goal of these ecclesiastical foundations to promote charitable, scientific and humanitarian objectives in accordance with the religious aims of the church. The societal conventions at the time believed that the church should be concerned solely with matters of faith and not that of asset management. As a result, legal theorists felt that any asset given to the church should have the ability to manage itself and should be classified as a legal person, separate and apart from the church. The uses of charitable foundations have evolved beyond the church and in recent years these entities have been established by affluent members of society to fulfill their philanthropic aims. The Alexander S. Onassis Foundation (the “Onassis Foundation”) was established by the late Aristotle Onassis in 1973 in the name of his predeceased son, to provide funds for education, literature, science and the promotion of Greek culture.1 The world’s wealthiest charity, Stichting INGKA Foundation (the “INGKA Foundation”), which is registered in Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles, owns 207 outlets of the multinational furniture store, IKEA.
