Sadly, business can seldom be relied on to police its own behaviour. We thus have little choice but to fall back on governments, NGOs and, not least, activists and the media to do the job. Yet the record of these outside watchdogs is also decidedly mixed. At the “hero” end of the spectrum, we tip our hats to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), a non-profit network of 280 journalists in more than 100 countries who collaborate on cross-border investigative projects.
