[PDF] "'Easy to manage'- A report on Chinese toy workers and the responsibility of the companies"

SwedWatch has chosen to focus our research on some of the largest toy selling companies in Sweden, Top Toy (BR-toys and Toys R Us), Brio and Coop [Coop Norden]. Other international companies that are mentioned in the report are Disney, Wal-mart and Mattel...SwedWatch has asked the companies to comment on the information found by HKCIC and SwedWatch. The comment from Top Toy is included as an annexe to this report. During the autumn of 2004, Fair Trade Center met with all companies concerned. At these meetings Fair Trade Center put forward their demands and recommendations (please see page 10). It is yet too early to make any statements about the actions that the companies will take. It is however clear that all companies concerned look seriously at the accusations and are undertaking studies at the factories of the identified suppliers.
