Most people accept min. wage legislation, taxes, & building regs in the UK.
The Gov doesn't *beg* CEOs to adhere. 
It legislates: creating a level playing field,
So that less scrupulous firms cannot outcompete unfairly.
Same for global supply chains - surely?https://twitter.com/GLeBaron/status/1044859493346160640 …
Except there's no global government. Lawmaking, regulation & enforcement of this stuff is domestic (and should be, surely for democratic accountability). Ability to regulate down the supply chain is limited (so yes the endgame of these initiatives shld be to support local regn.)

The UN Human Rights Council is currently debating a binding treaty on Business and Human Rights We already have transnational regulation & accountability for bribery - it's illegal to bribe a foreign public official Building capacity 'over there' doesn't tackle incentives.

Sure. I am not saying can't do *anything* at global level or down the supply chain. But minimum wage legislation, taxes, & building regulations are domestic (not about 'capacity building', about political settlements & institutions)
