- Activist Resigns as McDonald's Takes 'Green' Seat
-
WASHINGTON, Jun 3 (IPS) - The recent appointment of fast food giant McDonald's to the advisory board of an environmental group has drawn accusations of ''green washing'' from environmentalists and led one board member to resign in protest. But both the company and the group strongly deny the accusations. Paul Hawken, a well-known activist and environmentalist respected for his strong opposition to corporate globalisation, resigned two weeks ago from the Green Business Network (GBN), a Washington-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) that says it is working to make businesses adopt better environmental practices. "McDonald's doesn't have the expertise, the credibility or the values to be on the steering committee of a green business," Hawken, a board member since the NGO started its operation in 2000, told IPS in an interview.

- How low can you go? The corruption of corporate imperialism
-
(TWN) If the bribery and cronyism that have so incensed anti-corruption crusaders are to be exposed and opposed, so too must corporate profiteering and monopolistic practices which heap misery upon people and plunder natural resources the world over. Above all, stresses Aziz Choudry, a clear position must be taken to confront the corrupt worldview which underpins the neoliberal agenda of shaping the world in the interests of big business. Aziz Choudry is an activist, writer and researcher on social and economic justice issues with Aotearoa (New Zealand)-based GATT Watchdog. This article is adapted from his presentation at the Asia-Pacific Conference on Corruption and Governance, 2 August, Quezon City, Philippines. From Third World Economics No. 287 (16-31 August 2002).

- How to spend $67 billion: What would you do with all the money squandered by corporate America?
-
... I've done a little research in an effort to offer up some perspective on the magnitude of these crimes. My hope is that when you see a number like $100 million - the amount Jeff Skilling pocketed from Enron before abandoning the sinking ship - expressed not in dollars but in terms we can all identify with, your outrage meter will be set to the proper scale. By Arianna Huffington, Aug. 22, 2002, a nationally syndicated columnist and author of eight books.

- Corporate Citizenship - Revisiting the Relationship between Business, Good Governance and Sustainability
-
Agenda 21 has not aged well. Today s agenda on business and sustainable development is both broader and deeper than that of the early 1990s. Eco-efficiency is still there, but corporate responsibility , corporate social responsibility and corporate citizenship have all become mainstream terms in sustainable development thinking. Specialist corporate citizenship organisations have blossomed; new management and accounting tools have been developed; and issues have emerged within the business and sustainable development agenda that were not there at the time of Rio - business and conflict; business and human rights; business and sustainable livelihoods.

- Tangled Up In Blue: Corporate Partnerships at the United Nations
-
Secretary General Kofi Annan has encouraged all UN agencies to form partnerships with the private sector. The centerpiece of this initiative is his Global Compact, launched with the agencies for environment (UNEP), labor (ILO) and human rights (UNHCHR) in July, 2000. This report argues that corporate influence at the UN is already too great, and that new partnerships are leading down a slippery slope toward the partial privatization and commercialization of the UN system itself. The Secretary General's office and UN agencies such as UNICEF, UNDP, WHO, and UNESCO are partnering with corporations known for human, labor and environmental rights violations. The Global Compact and its cousin partnerships at other UN agencies threaten the mission and integrity of the United Nations.
