06 September 2008 Australian companies lagging on CSR? Or are they? Filed under: Australia Reporting CSR — Richard Welford @ 14:06 pm  Many Australian businesses appear not to be pulling their weight when it comes to their social responsibility according to a new study that found that just 52% of the country's top 300 listed companies published information on their environmental performance or policies. Furthermore, just 28% provided details on action to reduce greenhouse gases, the report says. Personally, I am not sure what the report authors (Grant Thornton) were expecting, but I do not see these figures as disappointing as they do. The study also found that a "mere" 36% of companies divulged their HR policies and "only" 47% reported on their community activities and initiatives. Am I missing something here? It doesn't look so bad to me.... Japanese companies to establish economic zone in Myanmar Filed under: Environment Human rights Myanmar Japan — Richard Welford @ 13:34 pm Major Japanese motor companies are planning to establish special economic zone in Myanmar to produce motor vehicle spare parts. The project will be implemented with the cooperation of domestic industrial enterprises probably in the form of joint venture, this report says. At present, Japanese motor companies as Suzuki and Isuzu are cooperating with Myanmar companies in producing motor vehicles, while Toyota and Honda are running motor car service industry in the country. Dell to sell off factories Filed under: Asia Economics Supply chains Companies — Richard Welford @ 12:41 pm  Dell is planning to sell factories around the world in a move to cut costs and overhaul its production model. Dell could sell most or all of its factories within the next 18 months and enter agreements with contract manufacturers to produce its computers, says this report. The most likely candidates to buy the factories are major contract manufacturers, most of which are based in Asia, that would then likely continue making computers there for the company. 05 September 2008 Asian pollution could spur US, European warming Filed under: Asia Environment — Peter Zhu @ 14:33 pm  Asian pollution from Asian power plants, cooking and heating could create summer hot spots in the central United States and southern Europe by mid-century, US climate scientists reported. Unlike the long-lived greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, the particle and gas pollution cited in this report only stays in the air for a few days or weeks but its warming effect on the climate half a world away could last for decades, the scientists said. Asian soot and sulfate pollution is likely to make for hotter, drier summers in the American Midwest and the Mediterranean region of southern Europe, adding that heating and drying effects are not expected to hit Asia. Targeting these air pollutants now makes sense, because of their role in the quality of the air people breathe as well as their impact on global warming. It's no substitute for targeting CO2 (carbon dioxide), which in the long run is the main contributor to global warming and has to be tackled, but the shorter-term pollutants can have a very large impact.

China's overseas dam industry Filed under: China Environment Human rights Sustainable development Water — Jacqui Dixon @ 12:28 pm  Chinese dam companies and financial institutions are outpacing their competitors in overseas dam contracts. China's overseas dam industry is building hundreds of dams around the world, particularly in Southeast Asia and Africa, but also in countries like Pakistan and Albania. International Rivers has recently published a guide that provides useful information for groups concerned about dam projects in which Chinese companies and financiers are involved including how communities impacted by these projects can protect their rights and advocate for rivers targeted for dams built by the Chinese. The guide will be covered in our next CSR Asia Weekly. New Eco-Monitoring Service from UNEP and Google Filed under: Environment — Peter Zhu @ 11:54 am  People can ‘fly’ to some of the world’s most dramatic environmental hotspots courtesy of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)’s innovative use of the popular mapping tool Google Earth. The new computer service allows armchair environmentalists as well as politicians, researchers and business executives to zoom in, whizz past and monitor close to 200 sites. Here they can witness at first hand in 3D the impacts of climate change and other destructive human activities on the earth’s environment and natural resources. Highlights include the appearance of road networks in the remote rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the dramatic expansion of many West African cities. More here. Gas and Oil contracts with MNCs cause financial losses Filed under: Economics Indonesia — Vijay Ramani @ 11:23 am The state of Indonesia could be incurring losses valued at hundreds of trillions of rupiah because of oil and gas agreements with some foreign contractors, reported the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). The contracts include the supply of electricity and steam (cogen) supply by US-based PT Chevron Pacific, which had signed an agreement to collaborate with PT MCTN until 2013. BPK member Udju Jauhari said the cogen project was made without going through a tender and it could have involved a conflict of interest. “Chevron Pacific and MCTN are both owned by Chevron Corp,” he added. “If they go on with the contract, Indonesia could incur losses up to US$ 1.2 billion”. The BPK also found an accelerated depreciation claim and a miscalculated credit cost in the Conoco Philips’ Block B Natuna contract. More here. Illegal Timber Crossing Thai-Burmese Border Filed under: — Vijay Ramani @ 10:28 am Burmese officials have been accepting bribes from a Thai logging company, which is smuggling timber across the Three Pagodas Pass border into Thailand, according to local witnesses. Local sources estimate that about 100 trucks containing teak and other hardwoods pass through Three Pagodas Pass every month and that the practice has been ongoing for several months. Officially, Three Pagodas Pass border crossing is closed and the Burmese junta has not permitted border trade with Thailand since 2006. According to the local businessman, Burmese officials have allegedly made an unofficial trade agreement with Sia Hook, a powerful Sino-Thai logging company. It is not clear whether the company has received permission to log timber from the Burmese Forestry Department. More here. Marketing junk food in Asia Filed under: Asia Standards Civil society Product responsibility — Erin Lyon @ 10:16 am  Consumers International has released a new report titled 'The Junk Food Trap: Marketing unhealthy food to children in Asia Pacific'. In South East Asia alone, the percentage of children who are clinically overweight is expected to rise by 27.5% between 2005 and 2010. An increase rate that is faster than anywhere else in the world. In Malaysia, for instance, KFC’s Chicky Club (a promotion tool for the fast food chain’s children’s menu) is now the biggest kids’ club in the country with a 58,000-strong membership. CI argues that companies are taking advantage of poor national regulations to promote unhealthy foods in ways that they have pledged to end in some rich world nations. More in CSR Asia Weekly next week. Yunus calls Telenor over child labour Filed under: Child labour Supply chains Bangladesh — Erin Lyon @ 10:06 am  This article reports that Mohammed Yunus has criticised Telenor over its Tier 2 supply chain practices in GrameenPhone, of which Telenor owns 62%. Last May Telenor faced charges of child labour in its Tier 1 suppliers. Yunus told reporters: "They promised that now it's cleaned up ... So you had hoped that after this lesson they would be very careful ... to make sure that it doesn't happen again, but it happened again." They are not showing the kind of efficiency you'd be expecting from a company like Telenor,". Telenor respond that they pointed out this new case to Yunus and are now 'on the case'. Dead fish raises suspicions Filed under: Environment Cambodia Water — Vijay Ramani @ 10:00 am  A public lake upon which villagers are dependant for its supply of fish, farming and drinking water has been polluted by a Korean owned bio-fuel factory according to provincial officials and local villagers. The governor of Ponhea Leu district, said polluted water from a poorly designed waste pond at the MH Bio Energy Co, which produces ethanol for export and has operated in Kandal province since July, was responsible for the poisoning of fish in the 325-hectare Samrong Lake. A resident of Duong village in Prek Phnov commune, said he suffered skin irritations after inspecting dead fish from the lake. Company head Lee Dong Jun said his company has produced bio-fuels for 30 years and has a strict policy of protecting the environment. More here. Hong Kong considers ban on trawlers Filed under: Environment Hong Kong — Erin Lyon @ 09:54 am  Hong Kong is considering banning fishing trawlers in its waters to save fish stocks as annual catches were estimated to be 30 percent above sustainable levels, the bureau's committee on sustainable fisheries will produce a full report next week. One option reported is that the government could buy out some of the 550 fishing trawlers operating in Hong Kong waters. More here. Police, military suspended for role in illegal logging Filed under: Environment Cambodia Illegal logging — Vijay Ramani @ 09:44 am  Seven officials, five policemen and two soldiers, were disciplined for their involvement in an illegal logging operation in Ratanakkiri Province. The province was the scene of one of Cambodia's most far-reaching illegal logging schemes to be prosecuted so far, although the results appear to have had limited effect. The chief defendant, former provincial governor Kham Khoeun, was sentenced in 2006 to 17 years in prison but has never been detained and is reportedly living free in Laos. Six other officials were also convicted for their roles in the scam, a sophisticated multimillion-dollar logging racket which stripped trees from Virachey National Park and trucked them across the border to Vietnam. Pen Bonnar, the coordinator in Ratanakkiri for the Cambodian rights group Adhoc, said that as a serious problem in Cambodia, illegal logging should be met with more than suspensions. More here. 04 September 2008 India more vulnerable to climate change, says UNIDO Filed under: India Climate change — Richard Welford @ 18:07 pm  India's high dependence on fossil fuel makes it more vulnerable than others to adverse effects of climate change, which may result in low crop yields, rising sea level and loss in the country's GDP. Excessive use of fossil fuels will lead to heavy environmental, social and regulatory costs. India will experience the greatest increase in energy and greenhouse gas emissions in the world if it maintains an eight per cent or more annual economic growth, as its primary energy demand would multiply at least three to four fold of the present level. Further, climate change is expected to lead to unpredictable patterns of monsoon as well as increase in the country's temperature, much above the global average. More here. CPCC released its first CSR report Filed under: China Reporting Companies CSR — Elyse Chen @ 16:45 pm  China's oil refining giant, China Petroleum Chemical Corporation (CPCC) released its first CSR report recently. The report includes four segments, which are oil supply responsibility, safety and environmental responsibility, employee development and giving back to the society. The report also says that the company had lost over 143.5 billion RMB on oil refining in the past three years and the main responsibility of CPCC is to guarantee sufficient oil supply to the country.
