Recently American corporations have been trying to “outwoke” each other. Recently The Daily Wire<\/a> posted an article about the hypocrisy of this effort.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

There is a rising trend in corporate America to make businesses more \u201csocially conscious\u201d \u2014 at least in the minds of Western consumers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria are \u201ca set of standards for a company\u2019s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments,\u201d according to Investopedia<\/a>. For instance, a company may emphasize its use of green energy, association with LGBTQ suppliers, or otherwise arrange its operations such that producing shareholder value is inseparable from a leftist agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elon Musk warned<\/a> just a few weeks ago that \u201cESG rules have been twisted into insanity.\u201d This year\u2019s ranking of the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Ethical Companies<\/a>\u201d by Ethisphere \u2014 the \u201cglobal leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices that fuel corporate character\u201d \u2014 helps to explain why.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article lists the five “woke” companies that benefit from Uyghur slave-labor in China.<\/p>\n

Here is the list:<\/p>\n

1. Apple\u00a0<\/strong> \u2014 a one-time honoree on the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Ethical Companies\u201d list \u2014 has multiple firms in its supply chain that utilize forced labor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Sony\u00a0 \u2014 a four-time honoree on the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Ethical Companies\u201d list \u2014 also procures many of its devices from Chinese facilities using Uyghur labor, including O-Film, Highbroad, Dongguan Yidong, and Foxconn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Dell Technologies \u2014 a ten-time honoree on the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Ethical Companies\u201d list \u2014 also procured from O-Film, Highbroad, and Foxconn, as well as Sichuan Mianyang Jingweida Technology Co.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. General Motors \u2014 a three-time honoree on the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Ethical Companies\u201d list \u2014 is also associated with O-Film and Dongguan Yidong.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Microsoft \u2014 a twelve-time honoree on the \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Ethical Companies\u201d list \u2014 has links to O-Film, Dongguan Yidong, and Foxconn.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden signed<\/a> the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into law in December. Sponsored by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), the legislation stipulates that no goods made with slave labor from Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang province will make it to the United States. However, the legislation was passed despite a lobbying<\/a> push from firms like Nike, Coca-Cola, and \u201cWorld\u2019s Most Ethical Companies\u201d designee Apple.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How should Western companies respond to their tainted supply chains? ASPI recommends that each company should \u201cconduct immediate and thorough human rights due diligence on its factory labour in China, including robust and independent social audits and inspections.\u201d Any factories implicated should then be reformed or abandoned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And in the meantime, we should avoid lauding these companies for their compassion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s very easy to yell at Americans for our past misdeeds while ignoring the current misdeeds of foreign countries. American corporations need to consider bringing their manufacturing operations back to America, regardless of the cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
