IKEA are pretty hot on punishing transgressors. But yes, you're right, greenwashing is always a danger. Slavery is a good place to start, it is claimed that there are more slaves in the world now than every in human history, for example see - ‘Sea Slaves’: The Human Misery That Feeds Pets and Livestock [1] In 2015 the UK passed the Modern Slavery Act [2] which gave the biggest companies (turnover £36m+) a legal responsibility and sets out a set of punishments and reparations if they fail to address slavery in their supply chains. The Supply Chain managers of the future are having CSR drilled into them now as part of their education (I know, I'm part of it). We must hope they are not crushed by the wheels of the corporate machines.
