Imikhiqizo yemfashini nabathengisi bayaxwayiswa ukuthi banciphise kabili ekusebenziseni izinqubo zokuthenga ezinomthwalo wemfanelo ukuze baqinisekise ukuthotshelwa kwe-EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) entsha.
Ukungalingani kwamandla phakathi kwabahlinzeki nabathengi emkhakheni wemfashini kubhalwe kabanzi. Njengoba futhi izingozi zayo.
Emashumini ambalwa eminyaka adlule njengoba abathengi sebejwayele imfashini eshibhile, kwase kuba imfashini eshibhile, futhi ukulangazelela kwabo izitayela zakamuva kwaba okunganelisi, imikhiqizo yemfashini nabathengisi - esingakufaki ushukela, baqhutshwa yinzuzo ngokwemvelo - bafuna abahlinzeki abanikeza amanani aphansi futhi abakwazile ukuletha ama-oda ngesikhathi esirekhodiwe.
Umjikelezo uqhubekile futhi lapho esikhona namuhla abahlinzeki bempahla bayampintsha baze banciphise izinga ngokwempilo yabasebenzi, ukuphepha kanye nokuphila kahle ukuze baphumelele ukuncintisana nontanga ngentengo bese bewina ama-oda futhi bawalethe ngesikhathi ukuze bakhokhelwe ngokwemibandela. Ama-oda aphuzile asho umholo omncane.
Okwenza izinto zibe nzima nakakhulu ukunakwa kwabathengi kanye nokufunwa “kwemfashini eqhubekayo”. Bafuna ukuzizwa kahle ngezingubo abazithengayo ngakho bafuna ukwazi ukuthi zenziwe kusetshenziswa imicu eqinile, izindwangu kanye nezindlela zokucubungula. Futhi, imali iyama nomphakeli, okulindeleke ukuthi alethe lokhu, ngokuvamile ngaphandle kwezindleko ezengeziwe.
Imikhuba yokuthenga yinto enkulu ku-CSDDD entsha
Kodwa izinqubo zokuthenga zakha ingxenye enkulu ye-Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) entsha eyaphasiswa mhla ziyi-15 kuNdasa.
Kuzosho ukuthi amabhrendi nabathengisi bazocutshungulwa kakhulu ngezindlela zabo zokuthenga ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi banesibopho.
I-Ethical Trade Initiative iyachaza: “Izinqubo zokuthenga zihlobene eduze nemithetho kazwelonke nezinhlaka ezifana ne-CSDDD, egcizelela isidingo sokuthi izinkampani zizivumelanise nezimo ukuze zinciphise ubungozi futhi ziqinisekise ukuhambisana nemithetho ekhona nesafufusa.”
Umfelandawonye wababambe iqhaza embonini egxile ekuthuthukiseni amalungelo abantu ezinkampanini ezihlinzeka ngempahla uthi kubalulekile ukuthi izinkampani zenze ukuhlaziya okuphelele kwezinqubo zazo zokuthenga, ukuhlonza izindawo okufanele zithuthukiswe futhi ziqoqe impendulo kubahlinzeki.
"Ngokuhlola umthelela wokuthenga izinqumo ngamalungelo abantu, izinkampani zinganciphisa ngokuqhubekayo imiphumela emibi futhi zihloniphe izindinganiso zokuziphatha," kusho le nhlangano.
Umthetho udlulisa umthwalo omkhulu wemikhiqizo nezitolo futhi - ngokwezinga elithile - ubhekana ngempumelelo nokungalingani kwamandla.
Njengoba u-Matthijs Crietee, ohola iphrojekthi ye-STTI e-International Apparel Federation (IAF), ephawula: “Kuzoba nzima kubathengi bezimpahla zokugqoka ukushintsha ubungozi nezindleko ezihambisana nokuguqukela embonini esimeme ngokugcwele kubakhiqizi bezingubo…
Ingabe imithetho ingeqiwa?
Cha. Ukungathobeli imithetho kuzoholela ekujezisweni yiziphathimandla zikazwelonke ezihlanganisa izinhlawulo ezifika ku-5% wenzuzo yazo yomhlaba wonke. Futhi, ngokusho kwenkampani yabameli u-Baker McKenzie, izinhlangothi ezithintekayo zingafaka izimangalo ezinkampanini ngokuqondile ngamademeshe asukela ekwephuleni ngamabomu noma ngokunganaki izibopho zazo zokuqinisekisa ukuqiniswa komthetho.
Inhloko yobulungu kwa-ETI, u-Kate Lewis, utshele i-Just Style kuphela: "Ukwehluleka ukusebenzisa izindlela zokuthenga ezinomthwalo wemfanelo kubeka abasebenzi engozini, futhi kubeke engcupheni uchungechunge lokuthengwa kwempahla, idumela kanye nokusimama kwebhizinisi."
I-ETI iveze uhlaka olufanayo lwezinqubo zokuthenga ezinomthwalo wemfanelo, okuhloswe ngazo ukuqondisa izinkampani ukuthi zihlanganyele nababambiqhaza futhi zenze intuthuko ebonakalayo ezinqubweni zabo zokuthenga.
U-Lewis uthi: “Izindlela zokuthenga ngendlela efanele zinamandla okunciphisa kakhulu imithelela emibi yamalungelo abantu kubasebenzi abasemaketangeni. Bangakwazi ukusekela futhi benze izimo zokusebenza ezithuthukisiwe, ukuqaliswa kwamaholo okuphila, nokuhlelwa okungcono nokusimama kwebhizinisi kuwo wonke amabhizinisi ahilelekile. Imikhiqizo yezimpahla kanye nabasebenzi abenza izingubo zabo bahlomule ngokuthatha imikhuba yokuthenga enesibopho. Bazophinde babekwe kangcono ukuze bahlangabezane nezidingo zomthetho osafufusa, ogcizelela ukubaluleka kwawo, nesidingo sokuthi izinkampani zinciphise ubungozi ngokukhuthalela amalungelo abantu nokuziphatha kahle kwebhizinisi.”
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinqubo zokuthenga ezinomthwalo wemfanelo zikhuthaza uxhaxha lwempahla oluzinzile kanye nokwenza ngcono ukusebenza kahle kwezokuxhumana, ukuhlela, izinqubomgomo nezinqubo zokuthenga,” usho kanje.
UPeter McAllister, umqondisi omkhulu we-ETI uyanezela: “Leli yithuba lokulinganisa inkundla yezinkampani ezihweba nge-EU noma ezihweba nge-EU, zenze ukunakekela amalungelo abantu kube inkambiso evamile, futhi kuthuthukiswe izimo zokusebenza emhlabeni wonke.”
Thuthukisa izinqubo zokuthenga - ukuwina okusheshayo
U-Lewis uthi: “Kwa-ETI, sisebenzisana namalungu enkampani ngemikhuba yokuthenga enesibopho kuyo yonke imikhakha emithathu yobulungu bethu - izingubo nezindwangu, ukudla nesiphuzo kanye nokuthengiswa okuvamile.
“Ngokusebenzisana nozakwethu, senze izinhlaka ezifanayo ezinkambisweni zebhizinisi ezinomthwalo wemfanelo futhi sasungula umphakathi lapho izinkampani zingakwazi ukufunda nokusebenzisa lezi zindlela ngokuhlanganyela.
“Sisebenzisana nezinkampani ukuze siqhubekele phambili ekubhekeni amalungelo abantu ngokuqhubekayo, siqhube ibhizinisi elingcono futhi silethe imiphumela engcono kubasebenzi.
"Siyakwamukela ukudlula kwe-CSDDD, amandla ayo okulinganisa inkundla yebhizinisi elinomthwalo wemfanelo nokwenza ukusebenzisa amalungelo abantu ngokucophelela kanye nezindlela zokuthenga ezinomthwalo wemfanelo kube yinjwayelo, kwenziwe ngcono izimo zokusebenza emhlabeni wonke."
I-ETI ikhombe izindlela ezintathu izinkampani ezingaqala ngazo ukwenza ngcono:
- Yamukela indlela esekelwe engcupheni: Abameli bagcizelele ukubaluleka kokwamukela indlela esekelwe ebungozini, lapho izinkampani zibeka phambili abahlinzeki kanye namaketango anikezela ngempahla ngokusekelwe ezingozini ezihlobene. Le ndlela ehlosiwe inika amandla ukwabiwa kwezinsiza ngendlela efanele futhi isiza ukungenelela okuklanyelwe lapho zidingeka khona kakhulu.
- Zijwayeze futhi ukhuthaze ukusebenzisana nokuba sobala: Ukusebenzisana nabahlinzeki kanye nababambiqhaza kwavela njengesu elibalulekile lokuthola ukuqonda mayelana nemithelela yezinqubo zokuthenga. Ngokuzibandakanya ezingxoxweni nasekukhuthazeni ukubeka izinto obala, izinkampani zingaqonda kangcono izinselele ozakwethu ababhekana nazo futhi zisebenze ndawonye ukuze zithole izisombululo ezisimeme. Elinye iphuzu eliphindelelayo elagqanyiswa kwakuwukubaluleka kokwabelana ngalokho okulindelekile, ukuqinisekisa ukuxhumana okucacile, ngemizamo yokubambisana, nokuqinisekisa ukuthi kungenzeka yini kubahlinzeki.
- Sebenzisa izinsiza futhi uxhumane nochwepheshe: Ucwaningo olusha kanye nemithetho ekhulayo ibone ukwanda okukhulu kwezincwadi kanye nokwabelana ngolwazi ngezinqubo zokuthenga ezinomthwalo wemfanelo. Kunezinhlelo ezibandakanya ababambiqhaza abaningi (ama-MSI), njenge-ETI, nabanye ababambiqhaza bemboni abaqhuba inqubekelaphambili kule ndawo. Ngokusebenzisa lezi zinsiza kanye nobuchwepheshe ekuthengeni imikhuba izinkampani zingalungela kangcono ukwenza ushintsho oluhlala njalo nolulungile ebhizinisini labo kanye nabasebenzi kumaketanga abo wokuhlinzeka.
