It is the responsibility of governments in consultation with the industry and consumers. When companies change they should be congratulated for co-operating. It is important to appreciate that to call for controls on the industry is not revolutionary. In many areas of our lives regulations knit together the fabric of society for the benefit of all. Society does not rely on trust to prevent murder and theft, cheating and coercion.
Society is dependent on rules, rules which are enforced.
TNCs benefit from many regulations which protect their interests. Yet, for too long, the most vulnerable members of our society have been unprotected from companies which do not deserve our trust.
