Transparency and disclosure in supply chains: modern slavery and worker voice

Under section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (MSA), large British companies are required to report on their efforts to monitor and protect the labour rights of their employees and workers on an annual basis. There are however criticisms. First, there is no requirement to audit Modern Slavery statements and this raises question over the credibility of the information that companies report. Second, the MSA is a soft governance tool that allows too much reporting flexibility. While the original intention behind this was to encourage companies to get to know their supply chains in the first place and subsequently focus on improving their reporting over time, there have been general calls to tighten up the non-mandatory reporting requirements of the MSA in the hope that this would in turn result in better quality of reporting. In this report, we present the key findings for our detailed examination of the Modern Slavery Statements of the largest 100 British companies. In order to examine the statements, we devised a detailed index, based on (a) the mandatory and optional aspects of the Modern Slavery Act (2015, s. 54), (b) content recommended by CORE (2017) and (c) additional criteria based on consultation with The Business and Human Rights Resource Centre, an internationally based labour rights NGO with an office in London. We focus on 6 information categories. Apart from the General Information, which covers mostly mandatory disclosures, the remaining five categories were optional under section 54. These five categories are: Organisation and Structure of Supply chains, OS; Due Diligence, DD; Risk Assessment, RA; Codes of Conduct/Policies/Strategy(ies), CPS; and Training collaboration, TC. We find that of the five non-mandatory information categories, companies prioritise reporting on two: RA procedures and DD processes These are the categories of most importance to investors. We find that any changes to reporting on these two categories are positively linked to reporting on CPS but not to those on OS and TC. While the level of reporting for all the three latter categories were lower than reporting on RA and DD, the reason why changes in CPS is closely linked those of the RA and DD lies in the way companies report to illustrate their parallel efforts to devise the necessary CPS to support the outcome of RA and facilitate the implementation of DD processes. However, the same could not be said about OS and TC. It was evident that while companies are reluctant to draw attention to potential challenges and problematic areas along their supply chains, they show limited efforts on their training programmes, raising questions over how in-depth corporate efforts have been in changing their culture on labour rights issues and/or perhaps the more serious challenges that they encounter in the process of devising training programmes. While our findings reveal an interesting reporting pattern, we can see areas that we still have very limited knowledge of before any meaningful proposals can be made to move the labour rights reporting agenda forward. We anticipate that there are complexities and challenges that companies face along their supply chains, especially in areas that are outside their national jurisdictions and where the legal framework can be either weak or non-existent and/or regional norms and cultures are in a way that can make it controversial or costly for companies to devise training programmes at local level

Joint multicast routing and channel assignment in multiradio multichannel wireless mesh networks using simulated annealing

This is the post-print version of the article - Copyright @ 2008 Springer-VerlagThis paper proposes a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm based optimization approach to search a minimum-interference multicast tree which satisfies the end-to-end delay constraint and optimizes the usage of the scarce radio network resource in wireless mesh networks. In the proposed SA multicast algorithm, the path-oriented encoding method is adopted and each candidate solution is represented by a tree data structure (i.e., a set of paths). Since we anticipate the multicast trees on which the minimum-interference channel assignment can be produced, a fitness function that returns the total channel conflict is devised. The techniques for controlling the annealing process are well developed. A simple yet effective channel assignment algorithm is proposed to reduce the channel conflict. Simulation results show that the proposed SA based multicast algorithm can produce the multicast trees which have better performance in terms of both the total channel conflict and the tree cost than that of a well known multicast algorithm in wireless mesh networks.This work was supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of UK under Grant EP/E060722/1

MULTITEMPORAL LANDSAT DATA TO QUICK MAPPING OF PADDY FIELD BASED ON STATISTICAL PARAMETERS OF VEGETATION INDEX (CASE STUDY: TANGGAMUS, LAMPUNG)

Paddy  field  has  unique  characteristics  that  distinguish  it  from  other  plants.  Before it planting, paddy field is always flooded so that the appearance is dominated by water (aqueous phase). Within the  growth  of rice, field  conditions  will  be  increasingly  dominated  by  greenish rice  plants.While at the end, the rice plants will turn yellow indicating for harvesting. During flooding stage, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of pady field is negative. The negative value of NDVI of paddy field will ultimately increase to the maximum value at the maximum vegetative growth. TheNDVI of paddy field will decrease from generative phase until harvest and after harvest. The objective of  this  study  was  to  perform  the vegetation  index  analyses for multitemporal  Landsat  imagery of paddy field. The results showed that the difference of vegetation index values (maximum - minimum)of  paddy  field  were greater than the  difference  of vegetation index  values of  other land  uses.  Such differences values can be used as indicator to map land for rice. The evaluation results with reference data showed that the mapping accuracy (overall accuracy) was of 87.4 percent

Short communication: Effect of oral consumption of Aloe vera gel on intestinal microflora and liver tissue of rainbow trout

Rainbow trout as an important breeding fish has a special place in the food basket of human societies. Statistical survey shows that in the period between the years of 1995 to 2011, the number of trout breeding farms and the amount of salmon production in Iran have increased respectively by more than 23 and 70 times. ... In recent years, several studies have been conducted on adding the medicinal plants to the feed and using their beneficial effects in aquaculture, while the diversity of medicinal plants and their treatment effects require extensive research. A. vera plant belongs to Liliaceae family which in traditional medicine, various effects such as rejuvenating, antiinflammatory, antifungal and germicidal have been listed for it. Sixty percent of the dry matter of A. vera gel is polysaccharides and if they have prebiotic material specifications, they can affect intestinal bacteria populations. … The aim of this study is addition of A. vera gel in rainbow trout feed and investigate its effect on intestinal microbial flora population and liver tissues of fish

Reporting on sustainability and HRM: a comparative study of sustainability reporting practices by the world’s largest companies

As a response to the growing public awareness on the importance of organisational contributions to sustainable development, there is an increased incentive for corporations to report on their sustainability activities. In parallel with this has been the development of ‘Sustainable HRM’ which embraces a growing body of practitioner and academic literature connecting the notions of corporate sustainability to HRM. The aim of this article is to analyse corporate sustainability reporting amongst the world’s largest companies and to assess the HRM aspects of sustainability within these reports in comparison to environmental aspects of sustainable management and whether organisational attributes – principally country-of-origin – influences the reporting of such practices. A focus in this article is the extent to which the reporting of various aspects of sustainability may reflect dominant models of corporate governance in the country in which a company is headquartered. The findings suggest, first and against expectations, that the overall disclosure on HRM-related performance is not lower than that on environmental performance. Second, companies report more on their internal workforce compared to their external workforce. Finally, international differences, in particular those between companies headquartered in liberal market economies and coordinated market economies, are not as apparent as expected

Have labour practices and human rights disclosures enhanced corporate accountability? The case of the GRI framework

This paper critically evaluates Transnational Corporations’ (TNCs) claimed adherence to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)´s ‘labour’ and ‘human rights’ reporting guidelines and examines how successful the GRI has been in enhancing comparability and transparency. We found limited evidence of TNCs discharging their accountability to their workforce and, rather, we found evidence to suggest that disclosure was motivated more by enhancing their legitimacy. TNCs failed to adhere to the guidelines, which meant that material information items were often missing, rendering comparability of information meaningless. Instead, TNCs reported large volumes of generic/anecdotal information without acknowledging the impediments they faced in practice

Pengaturan Tentang Pengenaan Pajak Bea Perolehan Hak Atas Tanah dan Bangunan (Bphtb) Atas Hibah Wasiat

Bea Perolehan Hak Atas Tanah dan Bangunan (BPHTB) adalah jenis pajak pusat yang dialihkan menjadi pajak daerah yang diatur dalam UU No.28 Tahun 2009. Untuk melakukan pemungutan pajak BPHTB, pemerintah daerah wajib membentuk perda tentang BPHTB. Berdasarkan hal tersebut Pemkab Badung membentuk Perda No. 14 Tahun 2010 tentang BPHTB. Pemindahan hak yang wajib dikenakan pajak BPHTB adalah hibah wasiat. Perda No. 14 Tahun 2010 yang kemudian dirubah menjadi Perda No. 28 Tahun 2013. Pemkab Badung mengenakan tarif BPHTB atas hibah wasiat sebesar 1%, setelah itu Pemkab Badung melakukan Perubahan terhadap tarif pajak BPHTB atas waris atau hibah wasiat menjadi 0%, ini berarti waris atau hibah wasiat di Kabupaten Badung tidak dikenakan pajak BPHTB. Ketentuan ini bertentangan dengan konsep pengaturan BPHTB dalam UU No. 28 Tahun 2009 dan menimbulkan kendala-kendala dalam pengenaan pajah hibah wasiat pada BPHTB. Jenis penelitian yang dipergunakan dalam penulisan tesis ini adalah metode penelitian normatif untuk menjelaskan adanya konflik norma antara Perda No. 28 Tahun 2013 dengan UU No. 28 Tahun 2009. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Perundang-undangan (statute approach) pendekatan konsep (conceptual approach), pendekatan analitis (analytical approch). Sumber bahan hukum yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari bahan hukum primer, sekunder dan tertier. Untuk teknik analisis bahan hukum, penelitian ini menggunakan teknik deskripsi, teknik evaluasi dan teknik argumentasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, pengaturan tentang pajak hibah wasiat pada BPHTB di Kabupaten Badung dalam Perda No. 28 Tahun 2013 tentang Perubahan Atas Perda No. 14 Tahun 2010, mengenai waris dan hibah wasiat yang tidak dikenakan pajak BPHTB bertentangan dengan UU No. 28 Tahun 2009. Tentunya dengan adanya pertentangan norma tersebut, menimbulkan kendala-kendala bagi masyarakat yang melakukan transaksi waris atau hibah wasiat di Kabupaten Badung.   Kata Kunci : Pajak BPHTB, Perolehan Hak, Hibah Wasiat
