Weekly Updates: Companies we have invited to respond to concerns

Section 2: Companies beginning with C-F

(10 Feb 2005 – 9 Dec 2009)

The following chart lists companies we invited to respond to concerns raised by civil society and highlighted in our Weekly Updates – indicating the country, issue, and whether or not the company has sent us a response – with a link to the allegations and any response. Any company that has not yet responded is welcome to do so at any time.

This section of the chart covers companies with names beginning C-F; the other five alphabetical sections are here:



Our free Weekly Updates include the latest news and reports on companies’ human rights impacts: positive steps they are taking, and alleged abuses. Over 7500 opinion leaders worldwide have registered for the Updates. You can sign up to receive the Updates at: Updates

When we plan to include allegations of misconduct in a Weekly Update, we invite the named company to respond, and any response appears in the Update. This helps ensure balance and encourages companies to address concerns raised by civil society. Since we launched the Updates in February 2005, over 75% of companies have responded. In some cases this has led to further comments, and then a further response by the company. In this way the Updates can help to keep issues alive until they have been addressed on the ground.

A list of the positive steps by companies that have been featured in our Weekly Updates is available here: Documents/Update-Charts
