See all tags

The findings from Swedwatch’s report - especially those based on interviews with community leaders, government officers and experts who have deep knowledge of the conditions in the areas and the impacts from tobacco cultivation illustrate that issues are not isolated incidences, but rather occur across the three surveyed areas in Bangladesh...In recognition of the heightened risk associated with criticism of large corporations and their practices, Swedwatch protects the anonymity of local interview respondents and therefore cannot share details of specific farms with BAT.
