Travail décent : la RSE malmenée

Début octobre 2016, SHARE a publié un rapport sur les pratiques de certaines grandes entreprises en matière de travail décent dans leur chaîne d’approvisionnement. Le résultat est plutôt décevant et la divulgation se montre en-deçà des attentes…

 

The correlation between workforce management and company performance means institutional investors have a key role to play in encouraging better workplace policies at organizations in their portfolios, particularly Canadian retail companies, according to a new report by the Shareholder Association for Research and Education.

The report, published in the lead up to the World Day for Decent Work on Oct. 7, reviewed disclosures from five Canadian and seven global retail companies, including Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., Canadian Tire Corp., Loblaw Companies Ltd., Metro Inc., Carrefour S.A., Costco Wholesale Corp., the Home Depot, Marks & Spencer PLC, Tesco PLC and Walmart Corp.

It found that Canadian retail companies lag behind their global peers in the disclosure of key workplace metrics, including approaches to remuneration and wages, strategies for achieving workplace stability, and efforts to measure and understand how employees impact business performance and contribute value.

As a result, the report says Canadian retail companies need to provide institutional investors with better quality information on how they are managing and protecting their workers.
