The private sector's role as partner and financing source for global development has grown at a rapid pace in recent years. Its elevation as a key development actor has been accompanied by significant enthusiasm and concern. Enthusiasm due to the additional resources, technology, skills and innovation the private sector can contribute to global development. Concern due to the risks associated with bestowing unprecedented power and expectations on the private sector's development contributions. This event will tackle these issues by focusing on two specific areas of private sector contributions: the private sector's engagement in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its growing embrace by aid donors through blended finance arrangements.
In two new papers, Oxfam weighs in on these areas, suggesting that the private sector must move beyond current forms of engagement in the SDGs, abandon a focus on the SDGs as a narrow business opportunity and embrace their wider responsibilities to the societies in which they operate. With regard to donors' efforts to blend aid with private development finance, Oxfam sees the need to ensure that projects supported with blended finance align with development effectiveness principles, such as transparency, accountability, and country ownership, in order to ensure pro-poor outcomes.
The event will focus on a set of guiding questions including: what explains the elevation of the private sector as development actor? How can the opportunities of private sector contributions be harnessed and the risks associated with them minimized? And what is the role of civil society in shaping the evolving development role of the private sector?
Join us for a discussion of these issues with:
Uwe Gneiting, Private Sector Team Research and Evaluation Advisor, Oxfam America
Marc Cohen, Senior Researcher, Accountable Development Finance Theme Team, Oxfam America
Nancy Alexander, Program Director for Economic Governance and the G20, Heinrich Böll Foundation-North America

Assessing the Evolving Role of the Private Sector in Global Development

Press release: "Renewable energy investors urged to manage community land & security risks"
Multi-million renewable energy investments could be at risk from overlooking harms to local communities. Managing these impacts is key to secure a fast and fair transition to a low-carbon economy, and safeguard financial returns, according to analysis by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, Transform Finance and Sonen Capital. A new briefing launched today sets out why investors in renewable energy should take action to ensure projects respect local communities’ rights and provides tools to use in their investment relationships.
The Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals have clearly signalled the future of energy is in renewables. This shift has opened up a host of opportunities for investors, but also serious risks. Business & Human Rights Resource Centre has received 115 concerns of harms to local communities linked to renewable projects since 2005 including on land grabs, displacement of indigenous peoples, violence and killings. 94 out of those concerns were raised since 2010.
“The time is now for investors to take steps and engage with renewable energy companies and projects in their portfolios to ensure respect for human rights. The majority of renewable energy companies do not yet have rigorous human rights safeguards in place - only 5 out of 50 of wind and hydropower companies refer to respecting indigenous peoples’ internationally recognised right to free, prior & informed consent,” said Phil Bloomer, Executive Director of Business & Human Rights Resource Centre.
The briefing, launched at the Ceres conference today, shows that investors must be vigilant to the way in which renewable energy projects are implemented, as they can harm communities in which they operate. These harms can also result in costly delays, legal costs and reputational risks. Through case studies, examples and practical recommendations, the briefing helps investors shape a new energy system that considers human rights and community engagement as the cornerstone for sustainable energy development.
“As long-term investors, we believe that the analysis of human rights in the renewable energy context set forth in this briefing is fundamental. We need to foster more community engagement to ensure that the transition to renewable energy truly benefits communities and does not create undue risk for investors. This view of investment as management of financial, human and environmental capital underpins CalPERS’ beliefs,” said Anne Simpson, Investment Director, Sustainability, of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), with $300 billion assets under management.
With input from over 30 experts and investors including Principles for Responsible Investment and UNEP Finance Initiative, the briefing demonstrates how integrating human rights considerations early on in the decision-making process, while prioritizing building strong and equitable relationships based on engagement with affected communities, can reduce the likelihood of conflicts that undermine a project’s success. These practices also help ensure that all stakeholders benefit from the investment, from financial, environmental and social perspectives.
The briefing is intended for any investor holding or considering investments in renewable energy projects, whether through direct or indirect ownership.

Intl. Organisation of Employers condemns India's Jammu Chamber of Commerce over its threats to kill refugees
IOE condemns outrageous statement by Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 25 April 2017
The IOE is extremely distressed to learn about the outrageous comments made by Rakesh Gupta, President of the Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry in a recent press conference, which was brought to our attention by the United Nations.
The IOE and the business community as a whole strongly condemn and will not tolerate any incitement to violence.
"We would like to make it clear that the Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry is not a member of the IOE, however, as a leading business voice, we find its President's threats unacceptable and a flagrant abuse of the term "corporate social responsibility"", said Linda Kromjong, Secretary-General of the IOE.

"What is Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR)?"
...[Low]-wage workers at the base of corporate supply chains remain isolated, vulnerable, exploited and abused... Corporations...bear responsibility for ensuring that human rights are respected in their suppliers’ operations, but they tend to treat the discovery of abuses in their supply chains as public relations crises to be managed, rather than human rights violations to be remedied....[They] embrace strategies that profess adherence to fundamental human rights standards but establish no effective mechanisms for enforcing those standards. This approach, known broadly as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), is characterized by voluntary commitments, broad standards that often merely mirror local law, ineffective or non-existent monitoring...
[Recently] workers and their organizations have forged effective solutions that ensure the real, verifiable protection of human rights in corporate supply chains. This new paradigm is known as Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR). It has been tested in some of the most stubbornly exploitative labor environments in the world today—from the agricultural fields of Florida, which were once dubbed “ground zero for modern-day slavery”...to the apparel sweatshops of Bangladesh... In order to achieve meaningful and lasting improvements, labor rights programs in global supply chains must be worker-driven, enforcement-focused, based on legally binding commitments by global corporations that place responsibility at the top of the supply chain for improvements in working conditions in suppliers’ operations...

Sénégal : La Banque africaine de développement autorise des enquêtes approfondies sur les impacts environnementaux et sanitaires de la centrale à charbon de Sendou
« Sénégal : la BAD autorise des enquêtes approfondies sur la centrale à charbon de Sendou », 21 avril 2017
Le Conseil d’administration du groupe de la Banque africaine de développement (BAD) a approuvé, le 20 avril 2017, l’évaluation de la recevabilité à une vérification de la conformité du projet de construction d’une centrale à charbon de 125 MW dans le village de Bargny Minam au Sénégal, financé par la Banque.
En approuvant ce rapport, le Conseil d’administration a également autorisé que les experts du Mécanisme indépendant d’inspection poursuivent des recherches plus approfondies pour clarifier les problèmes soulevés par les plaintes de deux groupes de plaignants au nom des membres durement touchés des communautés de Bargny au Sénégal.
Les deux groupes ont soulevé 8 questions similaires, dont : l’option politique gouvernementale jugée non viable consistant à utiliser des centrales électriques à charbon au Sénégal ; le choix du site d’accueil du projet en violation du Code national de l’environnement ; la vulnérabilité accrue des communautés exposées à la pollution de l’air et la perturbation éventuelle de leurs moyens de subsistance en raison de la proximité de la centrale à charbon de la ville et son impact négatif sur un site du patrimoine historique du pays. Ces groupes ont également mis en évidence des risques sanitaires imminents dus à la pollution de l’air imputable aux particules émises par la centrale de Sendou ; la vulnérabilité accrue de la communauté face à l’érosion côtière ; l’insuffisance des consultations publiques avec les personnes affectées par le projet (PAPs) et le non-respect des normes environnementales, sociales et des droits de la personne de la BAD... [Le projet est cofinancé] avec la Banque ouest-africaine de développement (BOAD) et la Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V. (FMO)...

Best Practices in Ethical Recruitment of Migrant Workers
The link to register is here.
In recent years, the international labor recruitment industry and its accompanying human rights risks have become a focal point of concern for companies with global supply chains. Surges of work-related migration along with a recruitment industry that is largely unregulated have created a predatory climate for migrant workers where exploitation and egregious violations of human rights flourish.
The purpose of this emerging Best Practice Guidance on Ethical Recruitment of Migrant Workers is to highlight the progress leading companies have made on these fronts that may serve as models for companies looking to implement ethical recruitment policies and drive change at the recruitment agency level.
In this webinar we will hear from the key actors behind the research that went into the Best Practices Guidance: a worker rights organization based in the U.S. and Mexico, a non-governmental, international, multi-stakeholder organization that developed a socially responsible standard for improving workplaces that now covers ethical recruitment, a company that shared its experience in implementing a positive ethical recruitment policy and an ethical recruiter that works across industries to create a path for safe, fee-free recruitment.
Valentina Gurney, Associate Program Director, coordinator of the No Fees Recruitment Initiative and principal author of the report. Valentina has conducted extensive field research both overseas and domestically, meeting with migrant workers and recruiters in the development of this best practice framework.
Sara Geurtsen and Evy Peña, Contratados, Centro de los Derechos del Migrante, a worker rights organization based in the U.S. and Mexico.
Ramona Moorhead, Corporate Programs Coordinator, Social Accountability International. Ramona was instrumental in coordinating companies’ participation and shaping case studies for the Guidance.
Brent Wilton, Director of Global Workplace Rights, the Coca-Cola Company. Brent plays a critical role in ensuring the company’s vast system abides by its Human Rights Policy and Supplier Guiding Principles. Coca-Cola’s bottling plants in Taiwan provided research for one of the cases studies in the best practice guide.
Marie Apostol, Founder and CEO, Fair Hiring Initiative, an ethical recruitment firm located in the Philippines. Marie’s continuous engagement with many major brands, their suppliers and recruitment agencies, has helped protect and promote the rights of thousands of migrant workers.

Mikihouse Trade commissioned a study in response to reports of labour rights violations
... MIKIHOUSE TRADE should clarify its policies as a corporation by formulating CSR procurement guidelines and a code of conduct. These need to be thoroughly communicated throughout the supply chain. Actions need to be taken for improvement, while considering coordinating with outside bodies in some cases, together with Takihyo, regarding the issues that were made clear with this investigation and issues pointed out by Human Rights Now, the international NGO. Monitoring in the medium to long term is also necessary.

Japan/Myanmar: Miki House and Wacoal should take effective action to improve working conditions in their supplier sewing factories in Myanmar
Human Rights Now found that in the supplier factory by the Miki House Trade, the workers suffered from serious infringement on their rights such as being forced to work overtime so long, low wages, delay payments of wages, inferior safety in working environment, not being provided an employment contract, lack of protection for female workers including admitting a maternity leave. ... it was found that the level of safety in working environment in a supplier factory of Lecien falls below the minimum level secured by labor law in Myanmar (according a response from Lecien, a part of the issue of the safety in working environment was improved later). Also, claims by workers about breach of minimum wages and lack of protection for female workers were found.

Japan/Myanmar: Human Rights Now reports on rights violations in apparel suppliers, Japanese companies promise action
Human Rights Now, an international human rights NGO based in Tokyo, and Action Labor Rights, a coalition of labour rights organisations in Myanmar, reported on alleged violations of labour rights in garment factories in Myanmar, including excessive overtime, withholding of wages, and unsafe working environments. These factories were suppliers for the Japanese apparel companies Mikihouse Trade and Lecien (a subsidary of Wacoal). Both Mikihouse and Wacoal subsequently conducted investigations and collaborated the NGOs' findings. The two companies have each promised remedial action.

USA: Citi CEO says bank approved Dakota Access Pipeline loan without sufficient regard for indigenous peoples' concerns
Citi meeting protest prompts apology on pipeline finance steps, 25 April 2017
A...protest...at Citigroup's annual shareholder meeting on Tuesday evolved into an orderly exchange between an older tribal woman and the bank's two top executives, who conceded it had approved investments in a North Dakota pipeline too quickly. "We wish we could have a do-over on this," Chairman Mike O'Neill said after hearing from Casey Camp-Horinek, a council woman for the Ponca Nation... [The] protesters who were concerned about environmental damage from the pipeline and shale oil.
Citigroup is one of four lead banks in a group of 17 which have provided project financing for the Dakota Access Pipeline [developed by Energy Transfer Partners]. The pipeline crosses land of the Standing Rock Sioux whose members are concerned about possible ground water contamination if the pipeline breaks. In January, U.S. President Donald Trump signed orders smoothing the path for the pipeline...
Chief Executive Mike Corbat said Citigroup had not given enough early consideration to the concerns of the indigenous people. But now, he said, Citigroup could do more to protect the environment by keeping its investments. "We made the decision that we are a better force for good at the table than away from the table," Corbat said. "We don't think it is the right thing to simply sell these and walk away."...

Brazil: 9 farmers killed over land dispute in region plagued by land grabs & illegal logging
"Massacre in Brazilian farmland highlights brutal struggle", 27 Apr 2017
In Brazil, where approximately 60,000 murders are committed every year, the killings [of poor farmers] last week caused little uproar. Partly that's because they occurred in a remote area of western Brazil [with]...no proper roads and no cellphone signal. When the first reports emerged of mass killings on April 20, police had to make an arduous journey...[and] journalists...had an even harder time getting to the location...Five days on, the police have not announced any leads, let alone arrests, and the subject has largely disappeared from Brazilian news broadcasts. The biggest reason for this, say critics, is darker than mere problems of distance and communications. The area in Mato Grosso state is at the heart of Brazilian agriculture, a hugely lucrative industry that for years has been plagued by land grabs, illegal logging and environmentally destructive policies...According to the Pastoral Land Commission...61 people were killed in land conflicts in Brazil last year, the highest number since 2003...The Pastorais do Campo said the latest killings were rooted in the 2004 expulsion of 185 families from the lands they were farming. The pressure in the area has continued ever since, with murders, torture and illegal imprisonment, but hundreds of people continued to try and settle in the disputed lands...
