Stakeholder Accountability in the UK Supermarket Sector
| Title: | Stakeholder Accountability in the UK Supermarket Sector | | Author: | Fox, Tom and Vorley, Bill | | Date Published: | November 1, 2004 | | Source: | "Race to the Top" Project - Final Report | | PDF: |  | | Abstract: | The Race to the Top (RTTT) Project attempted to create a framework to encourage supermarkets to tackle a range of social and environmental issues in the way retail goods are produced, not only those which are perceived to add consumer value. Given the lack of commitment of the largest supermarkets, this RTTT report concludes that in such a consumer-oriented industry, self-regulation and voluntary initiatives are only likely to be appropriate for issues that are in line with the consumer interest. Creating incentives for supermarkets to drive positive change on other aspects of sustainability implies a more robust role for the state. |
