The Jus Semper Global Alliance

This essay argues that the new Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI)?s ?G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines? fails, once again, to address the critical issue of living wages and relies on the same old multilateral norms that condone the corporate practice of paying misery wages in most countries in the South, despite the fact that a living wage has long been declared a human right. There is an implicit missing link in the world’s pursuit of true sustainability.
