Replying to LO27797 --
I am not going to be an apologist for global companies. I think they have
got many of their social obligations all wrong. And I wonder if any of
them has made that 'system connect' with 9/11.
I would like to hear of any global social initiatives people can point to
me which inspire them. Do you even have one being led by a global 1000
company? The only one I like is www.hp.com/e-inclusion
Equally, could we also separate which aspects of your case actually were
in the first instance not to do woith globalisation but the extreme
localisation of a disconnected soviet economy. Isnt it dangerous using a
term as if you are polarising good from bad, if the truth is that both
extremeties of the term are awful?

ps whilst on league table, we're also interested to hear which social
responsibility communities you rate as top - eg www.bsr.org (Business for
Social Responibility)
