Swiss Coalition of Corporate Justice to collect signatures for referendum on mandatory corporate human rights due diligence

"Popular Initiative for Responsible Business", 19 Jan 2015

The Swiss Coalition of Corporate Justice (SCCJ) is planning to launch a popular initiative, the aim of which will be to require Swiss companies to respect human rights and environmental standards abroad as well as at home...The text of the initiative is currently under review at the Federal Chancellery and the committee of the initiative is just being established. The association «Initiative for responsible business» will launch the initiative in the second half of April 2015. The collection of signatures will start at the beginning of May...In the event that the initiators of a popular initiative manage to collect 100,000 signatures across 18 months, a binding referendum on the subject will then follow.
