[PDF] Faith-based and social investors praise Wal-Mart's efforts to stop forcing children to pick cotton [Uzbekistan]

Faith-based and socially responsible investors commend Wal-Mart for taking action to put an end to child labor in Uzbekistan. Today, Wal-Mart announced that it has "instructed its global supply base to cease sourcing cotton and cotton materials from Uzbekistan in an effort to persuade the Uzbek government to end the use of forced child labor in cotton harvesting."... "Wal-Mart has played a positive role in crafting a common strategy along with other stakeholders to end this egregious violation of children's rights," remarked Rev. David M. Schilling, program director of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility.
