People fall ill with arsenic-contaminated<\/a> Waters. People work under slave-like<\/a> Conditions. People die for \"sustainable\" Gold bars and jewelry<\/a>. The environment is being ruthlessly destroyed and the \"heritage of mankind\", the Deep sea<\/a> is being exploited - with unknown consequences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If you think \"this has nothing to do with me\", you're wrong. Because all of these crimes against people and the environment are also committed by Swiss companies or are part of them. And we are indirectly involved with them. Profit is placed above human rights and environmental protection, without consequences. The website of the Coalition for Corporate Responsibility lists cases of around 20 companies that endanger thousands of human lives.\u00a0<\/p> Disregarding human dignity, failing to comply with environmental standards and making use of areas that belong to us all - these are the practices that the Corporate Responsibility Initiative<\/a> prevent. At Connexio develop, we have set ourselves the goal of contributing to a just, inclusive and peaceful world. This includes a dignified life, an environment that is intact and that all people are healthy. The Council of Europe has adopted the Directive on corporate due diligence with regard to sustainability (CSDDD<\/a>EU Supply Chain Directive) has already been adopted. The Federal Council, however, sees no need for this. The strong lobby of corporations based in Switzerland has put powerful pressure on politicians. Without binding guidelines, Swiss companies could continue to violate human rights and destroy the environment with impunity and make high profits in the process. Is Switzerland soon to be one of the few countries without guidelines that respect human dignity? If the initiative is accepted, it will strengthen our work. It is a building block for changing the system and can contribute to positive change. What does that have to do with you?<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
But you are not the only one affected - we as an organization also see it as our duty to contribute to changing the system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tWhat does this have to do with Connexio develop?<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
One component of this is to oblige companies to comply with standards that contribute to this. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tWhat do our neighbors think?<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
We don't want that.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tConclusion<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Ultimately, it is about respecting people and the planet and preserving creation.<\/p>
