Who’s Responsible for Factory Conditions in Poor Countries? | Sustainable Business Forum: Just who is responsible for the fire in a garment factory in Bangladesh that killed more than 100 workers in November?
The factory owner? The government of Bangladesh? US and European brands and retailers who bought the clothes made there? Shoppers who demand the latest styles at low prices?
And who deserves credit for the improvements in working conditions at Foxconn, China’s largest employer and Apple’s biggest supplier?
Apple? The Chinese labor market? Journalists at The New York Times?
Similar questions could be asked about paint factories that discharge pollution into rivers, toy factories that use dangerous chemicals or factories everywhere that run inefficient equipment or burn dirty fuels.
