All but one preliminary reports released by the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise show companies in question have given incomplete answers, not responded, or stopped engaging in the process altogether

Canadian Ombudsperson Sheri Meyerhoffer shares that the CORE’s power to make its reports public has encouraged some companies to respond to its queries, but not all.Canada’s watchdog for corporate abuses abroad is facing challenges getting companies to fully participate in its assessments, raising questions about the effectiveness of an office that relies on businesses to volunteer information about their activities.

In seven of the eight preliminary reports the CORE has released so far – all of which focus on the alleged use of forced labour in Representatives of some groups with human-rights or environmental concerns – from South America, the Caribbean and Africa – have said they opted not to file complaints to the CORE because it doesn’t have the powers to investigate or order remedies for victims.

In its report concerning the activities of Levi Strauss Canada, the CORE said the company didn’t make itself available for a meeting and had “limited participation” so far in the complaint process. Ms. Alonso, of Above Ground, although critical of the CORE’s inability to compel evidence, offered praise for the level of transparency in the office’s reports thus far. “It’s been interesting to see that the CORE has been so open about the level of engagement with companies in these reports, and that she is naming the companies and including details of the process so far.”
