Global Business and Human Rights Putting Germany to the Test, a report by Misereor and German Watch February 2014.
Misereor and Geman Watch understand that human rights are often abused in connection with goods that are used every day in Germany – whether it be clothing, tropical fruits, coffee, toys, mobile phones or cars. The report analyses Germany as the world’s current third-largest export nation, and as both an importer and a source of foreign direct investment, Germany plays a prominent role in the global economy. Six of the companies listed as the world’s 30 largest transnational corporations (TNCs) are German.
