      The other issue with the counter-proposal is that parent companies are not liable for their suppliers, but only those companies they directly control. So this wouldn't create liability for events like Rana Plaza, or abuses caused by Shell's suppliers in Ogoniland.

      Isn't the main proposal also only for companies that are controlled? (i.e. as implied by 'parent company') -- it says can include suppliers where they are essentially controlled eg. they only have one customer, but not the broad supply chain responsibility you suggest?

      i.e. Rana Plaza would be excluded from the original proposal also? Are the MNCs supporting the proposal or the counter proposal?

      So, it is very surprising but the original proposal has the public support of 33 companies, and the Swiss group of MNCs endorsed the counter proposal.

      some are listed on the RBI website, but i don't think that's up to date. and here's the letter of support for the counter-proposal from the GEM [Group of Multinational Enterprises] https://www.gemonline.ch/uploads/_Files/documents_publics/Communiqu%C3%A9s_de_presse/2018/2018.04.20_Communiqu%C3%A9_IP%20entreprises%20responsables%20CAJ-N.pdf …

      I only see e.g. Organic Vegan Icecream Company, so not really mainstream biz support! https://konzern-initiative.ch/unterstuetzende/ …

      that's the list of 'personalities'. i think there is a separate section on companies. but yes, i would expect that overtly 'ethical' companies would be supportive. p.s can you and i go get organic vegan ice cream in switzerland! sounds great!

      on their news page they say 33 companies support them. there's also this site, http://www.droitsansfrontieres.ch/fr/campagne/  i don't understand the difference between the two sites.

      I wonder if they mean something else. The organisations listed are all NGOs etc... it is perhaps not quite such a broad coalition as you thought

          well, their news page makes a distinction between companies and members. "As of mid-April 2018 we are at 97 member organizations, 33 companies and 65 personalities in the support committee".

          Beyond the specifics of this particular initiative, I'm excited that you guys are getting to see a bit of the processes of our rich tradition and processes with public initiatives and referenda! 🤗
