It is time for a strong corporate responsibility law in Switzerland!
When 50.7% of the electorate voted YES to the Corporate Responsibility Initiative on November 29 in 2020, but the initiative failed due to the majority of the cantons, this was a great disappointment for Horyzon. At the time, we had put a lot of heart and soul into supporting the initiative, as it represents a core concern of our development cooperation. When companies violate human rights and environmental standards abroad, this always happens at the expense of the local population. The counter-proposal, which has been in force since 2022, does not go far enough for us. The due diligence obligation only applies to child labor and conflict minerals - other human rights and environmental standards are excluded.
