The Corporate Social Responsibilities of Financial Institutions for the Condu...
Abstract: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be split along two distinct lines. The first touches on the nature of corporate personality and is rooted in domestic law regulating enterprises specifically and legal persons generally. The second touches on the nature of the rights of individuals and is rooted in international law (and sometimes domestic constitutional law) defining the scope of the human rights of individuals and the consequential obligations of states and legal persons. Both conversations intertwine though they tend to operate autonomously. In both cases, however, the traditional focus of corporate responsibility has focused on the relationship between an operating company and its direct effects on individuals, society and the environment. That discussion remains contentious, conflicted and unresolved. But it ignores a critical actor—the financial institutions which provide operating capital to enterprises. This paper considers the corporate social responsibilities of financial institutions, including sovereign wealth funds, for the conduct of their borrowers. The focus will be the extent of any duty or responsibility of lenders to ensure that their borrowers comply with CSR obligations (or alternatively conforms to international human rights standards) as a core aspect of their own CSR obligations (or alternatively) of their responsibility to respect human rights. Section II examines the general regulatory framework. There are two aspects that are relevant. The first is to understand the scope and character of the legal norms that may be applied to enterprises generally with respect to their operation’s that might be understood as CSR-human rights related in nature. The second is to consider the range of non-legal normative governance rules that might apply. In the process it will be important to distinguish between a CSR based regulatory approach and a human rights based approach. Section III considers the application of these norms to financial institutions. This requites distinguishing between those obligations that apply to the internal operations of financial institutions generally, and those obligations that apply to the financial institution’s obligations with respect to its lending activities, that is with respect to its relationship with its borrowers. The essay ends with a brief examination of recent cases in which financial institutions undertook such a responsibility, and the ways in which that obligation was undertaken. Three different types of institutions are considered—private banks, sovereign wealth funds and international financial institutions (IFIs). The paper ends with a preliminary consideration of the consequences of this movement for domestic CSR in the U.S.

CTO Cybersecurity Forum 2013 Cecile Barayre
Supporting the global efforts in strengthening the safety, security and resilience of Cyberspace, the Commonwealth Cybersecurity Forum 2013, organised by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation. The ceremonial opening examined how Cyberspace could be governed and utilised in a manner to foster freedom and entrepreneurship, while protecting individuals, property and the state, leading to socio-economic development. Speakers of this session, Mr Mario Maniewicz, Chief, Department of Infrastructure, Enabling Environment and E-Applications, ITU; Mr David Pollington, Director, International Security Relations, Microsoft; Mr Alexander Seger, Secretary, Cybercrime Convention Committee, Council of Europe; Mr Nigel Hickson, Vice President, Europe, ICANN and Mr Pierre Dandjinou, Vice President, Africa, ICANN, added their perspectives on various approaches to Cybergovernance, with general agreement on the role Cyberspace could play to facilitate development equitably and fairly across the world.
Hosted by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of Cameroon together with the Telecommunications Regulatory Board of Cameroon and backed by partners and industry supporters including ICANN, Council of Europe, Microsoft, MTN Cameroon, AFRINIC and Internet Watch Foundation, the Commonwealth Cybersecurity Forum 2013 seeks to broaden stakeholder dialogue to facilitate practical action in Cybergovernance and Cybersecurity, some of which will be reflected in the CTO’s own work programmes under its Cybersecurity agenda.
The Business of Traffick in Humans workshop
The document summarizes a workshop on applying the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) to combat human trafficking. It discusses how the UNGPs establish universal standards for companies to prevent human rights violations and ensure victims have access to remedies. It notes how various jurisdictions are implementing measures aligned with the UNGPs, and outlines how companies can operationalize the UNGPs by addressing risks, procedures, supply chains, training, and reporting.
Working with Logic Models
In development assistance, most projects are planned, monitored, and evaluated using logic models. It is a rare project that unfolds exactly according to plan but outputs are within direct control. Because of this, it is helpful to deepen and extend logical frameworks to bolster output accomplishment and improvement of activities.
Policy Research Essay (Part I)
The document provides background information on Bill C-300, which aimed to impose social responsibility standards on Canadian mining companies operating abroad. It summarizes the key events, including an advisory group report recommending CSR measures in 2007, and the bill's proposal in 2009 requiring compliance for companies receiving government funding. While initially supported, industry lobbying and the new Conservative government led to the bill's defeat. The document outlines the various stakeholders who supported the bill, including opposition parties, civil society groups, and witnesses who testified on human/environmental abuses.
PSCI 3801A Policy Research (Part II)
This document provides a summary of a policy research essay on corporate social responsibility in the Canadian extractive sector. The summary discusses:
1) Bill C-300 which proposed mandatory CSR policies for Canadian mining companies operating abroad but was rejected in favor of voluntary guidelines.
2) Arguments made for and against Bill C-300, with the Conservative government, mining industry groups, and others opposing it due to concerns about competitiveness and economic impacts.
3) The essay analyzes whether Canada's approach to CSR reflects neoliberal or sustainable development models of governance based on the failure of Bill C-300 and subsequent CSR strategies.
The Ethical Corp's Study on Extractive Industries
A wide ranging review of ESG issues in the extractive industries, though none dealt with by the authors in the depth needed to (literally) do the topics justice. Well worth a read nevertheless to get a perspective and a flavour of the themes involved.

Indiana Iclr Ppt 3.12
This document summarizes recent developments regarding enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) through increased international cooperation and harmonization of anti-bribery laws. It discusses how enforcement has shifted from a unilateral US approach to a multilateral model through organizations like the OECD and UN. Recent prosecutions have involved cooperation across multiple jurisdictions, and norms against foreign bribery have strengthened through progressive adoption of laws and enforcement actions internationally. Continued enforcement competition and closing of loopholes may further discourage using bribery as a business model.
The Future of-Coop-Statistics
This document summarizes the development of cooperative statistics guidelines by the International Labour Organization (ILO). It discusses the need for reliable cooperative statistics given their significant economic contributions. An ILO resolution recognized the need for statistics on cooperatives in all countries. As a result, the ILO carried out studies in six countries including the Philippines to develop a common framework. The guidelines were finalized in 2018 and aim to assess cooperatives' economic impacts through various metrics like employment and earnings. Challenges remain in collecting comprehensive cooperative data from all countries.
CAMA deck-2016
The Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act (ESTMA) requires oil, gas and mining companies in Canada to annually disclose any payments over $100,000 made to all levels of government. Reporting must include payments in categories such as taxes, royalties, and fees. While reporting of payments to Indigenous governments in Canada was initially deferred to 2017 to address Indigenous issues, companies must still report payments to governments in other countries.
State of the Region
The document summarizes recent developments in anti-corruption regulation and enforcement in Latin America. It notes shifts in the economic and political landscape in several countries that impact corruption risks. New and strengthened anti-corruption laws have been passed in Brazil, Mexico, and other countries, while enforcement has increased through international cooperation and cases reaching further jurisdictions. Surveys still find corruption to be a significant challenge for businesses in many Latin American countries. The document then provides more specific updates on anti-corruption laws and issues in Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, and Chile.

Canadian Regulation Of Controlled Military Goods And Technology May 2010
An overview of Canada\'s controls over military goods and technology and addressing the conflicts between US ITAR and Canadian human rights laws
CSR review
The document discusses the Co-operative Bank's approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR). It provides an overview of the bank's ethical policies for investments and lending. While praising aspects of the bank's CSR efforts, it also notes some criticisms, such as a lack of transparency and detail in CSR reporting. It concludes that defining and standardizing CSR internationally could help improve legislation and performance for businesses.
Legal implications of global business expansion
The document discusses how different legal and regulatory systems around the world can affect global business expansion. It covers several key topics:
1) The different types of legal systems, including common law, civil/code law, and Islamic law. These systems can impact aspects of marketing.
2) How factors like business freedom, investment freedom, intellectual property rights, trade freedom, taxation, and import/export policies are all shaped by a country's legal framework.
3) Specific examples of trade blocs like NAFTA and the EEA that have established agreements around trade between member countries.
4) Strategies businesses can take in response to unfavorable government actions, such as altering policies, seeking all
An Overview of Business and Human Rights
This document outlines the agenda and content for a presentation on business and human rights. The presentation discusses the recent trend of businesses becoming more involved in upholding human rights standards. It covers international initiatives like the UN Global Compact, and surveys of companies' recognition and commitments to labor rights, non-labor rights, and international instruments. The document also addresses how human rights relate to business risks like reputational, judicial and financial risks. It provides an action framework for developing a human rights policy and management system. Finally, it discusses the benefits of such a system, including access to markets, investor confidence, efficiency and sustainability.
Trans-Pacific Partnership and Fast Track Powerpoint
The document summarizes concerns about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. It argues that the TPP will incentivize offshoring of US manufacturing jobs to countries like Vietnam and China by providing special legal protections for corporations. It also claims the TPP will allow corporations to challenge environmental, public health and other domestic laws before international tribunals. Additionally, the document says the TPP negotiations have been conducted in extreme secrecy without access for the public or most elected officials.
The Global Compact, Human Rights, and Nike, Inc.
Focusing on human rights, this presentation uses a critical psychology lens to articulate the business case for an action plan to imbed the Global Compact in the strategies and operations of Nike, Inc., with an eye to engaging its contract factories. The action plan integrates best practices proposed by the Global Compact. Because of their ambitious scope, critical psychology approaches often suffer from lack of opportunity for practical applications. Notwithstanding, this presentation highlights the theory's undoubted usefulness in the context of the Global Compact.
Trading for development
Global value chains have changed international trade by connecting manufacturing processes across many countries. Over 450 million people participate in global value chains, through which up to 80% of global economic activity occurs. There are existing international standards and guidelines to protect workers' rights in global value chains, such as UN declarations and ILO conventions. However, implementation of these non-binding standards remains a challenge. Some countries have begun establishing national laws and plans, such as Germany's National Action Plan for Business and Human Rights, to provide binding frameworks for corporate respect of human rights in global operations and supply chains. However, a monitoring found that less than half of large German companies had fully implemented human rights due diligence, indicating more progress is still needed. There

The document discusses the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), which aims to address the "resource curse" that many resource-rich developing countries face. It provides the background and origins of EITI, how EITI works by requiring transparency in company payments and government revenues from oil, gas and mining, and emerging results from EITI implementation in countries like Nigeria and Ghana. Key lessons are that high-level government commitment is critical to success, and that EITI is beginning to show results but also has limitations and could be expanded to address broader extractive industry governance issues.
Hitting The Wall Nike And International Labor Practices
Nike adopted a strategy of outsourcing all manufacturing to low-cost countries to reduce costs. While this saved on wages, it led to issues with working conditions and ethics. Nike failed to properly manage its outsourcing relationships and communicate its values to contract manufacturers. When reports of unethical practices surfaced, the company was unprepared and its reputation suffered. Moving forward, Nike learned to be more transparent and conduct marketing audits to improve social responsibility and regain consumer trust.

Lecture One: Introduction to Corporate Responsibility (2011 class)
A lecture looking at the history, drivers and actions around the development and expansion of the corporate responsibility movement/trend post WWII to present day.
StateTaxDay
The Georgetown University Law Center held its 38th annual Advanced State and Local Tax Institute conference to discuss two main topics - base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) and state tax challenges in the new economy. For BEPS, states are considering legislation around tax havens and transfer pricing issues to address corporations shifting profits overseas. For the new economy, speakers noted new laws may be needed for some issues like ride-sharing but clarifying existing laws could work in many cases, and the best approach is unclear whether courts, agencies, or legislatures should implement changes. Record keeping was also discussed as a challenge for tax collection in the new digital economy.

Canadian Copyright Reform in Context
This document discusses Canadian copyright reform and makes several key points:
1. Canada has undertaken periodic copyright reforms over the past 30 years through consultations and legislation, with the most recent major consultation occurring in 2001.
2. While U.S. reports have criticized Canada's copyright laws as weak, Canada is compliant with international treaties and scores well on global indices measuring intellectual property regulations.
3. Some areas of Canadian copyright law are stronger than U.S. law, such as certain royalty and fee requirements as well as broader fair use and moral rights protections.
4. The document argues against a U.S.-style approach and advocates for Canadian copyright reforms to maintain flexibility, balance rights holders and

Ian Thompson - PWYP Montreal Conference 2009
- 1. Bill C-300 and other legislative reforms for corporate accountability in Canada Ian Thomson Publish What You Pay (PWYP) International Conference Montréal, Québec November 17, 2009
- 7. Bill C-
Editor's Notes
- Several members of the CNCA are also involved in the PWYP Canada coalition.
- Report was a response to testimony from mining affected communities, including the Subanon Indigenous people from the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It was adopted as a consensus report with the support of all SCFAID committee members. Contained 10 recommendations in total. Let’s review the two most relevant to today’s discussion.
- Battle over C-300. Major industry opposition and active lobbying against the bill. The bill has passed second reading in the House of Commons, and is now being studied by the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development (SCFAID). The latest hearing was held this morning and KAIROS will be appearing before the committee on Thursday. So, what is all the fuss about?
- Scope limited to conditioning public support. Sanction is limited to withdrawal of this support. No remedy or reparations for victims of wrongdoing.
- States have a legal duty to promote, protect and fulfill human rights. ECAs are agents of the state and, as such, can help to discharge this legal obligation by developing effective policies around human rights.
- If enacted, Bill C-300 would provide the political direction from Parliament that Ruggie is referring to here. However, I do not believe that it is a required pre-condition since Canada is already bound to fulfill its human rights obligations. To date EDC has not shown the leadership in developing its own human rights policy.
- No public policy shift towards mandatory standards, or accountability mechani No domestic legislation on revenue transparency. Government hopes to narrow the debate to: - Assisting companies with managing social and environmental risks - Implementing community development projects in mining affected communities
- A final plug on what you can do. Not only Canadians. The Standing Committee has been receiving letters in support of Bill C-300 from as far away as Indonesia, Mexico and the Philippines.
