“Many companies have difficulties with transparency”
Mr Löning, the federal government has just carried out a survey of human rights and social standards in German companies. It shows that only about 20 per cent fulfil the requirements. Does this result surprise you? No. My impression is that many brand companies, above all those trading on the stock market, and especially prominent companies, are taking the issue seriously. It’s more difficult for small and medium sized companies who often lack the resources. Nevertheless, I think that they too can fulfil the requirements.
