Another good resource for CSR here, but one which some students may not want to watch due to the gruesome nature of the topic.
The Guardian reports that leading supermarket chains are demanding that CCTV systems be fitted in the stunning and killing areas of all abattoirs that supply them with meat, as they move to reassure consumers that animals are not being cruelly treated.
Morrisons, M&S, Waitrose, Co-op and Sainsbury’s have also promised that CCTV images will be independently monitored - as called for by the charity Animal Aid, which ran a campaign last year involving undercover filming of alleged brutality.
Its a good example of how retailers need to take great care with all aspects of their supply chain, and how pressure groups are becoming increasingly influential stakeholders in key retail sectors.
