This should help answer the question: Are CSR and philantropic initiatives good tools to ensure business is done in an ethical way

Is Switzerland a paradise for corruption?
The focus is on Sports Associations, in particular the never ending polemics with the FIFA...
Corruption is not illegal in Switzerland when it comes to sports associations..
The media point to other facts that show that image of Switzerland is currently suffering...

Toys behave badly

Toys R Us is pointed out... in the swiss media. The company got bad ratings for producing some of their puppets in China. And they do not want talk to the press. Definitely, not the right behaviour to foster confidence and trust.
More interestingly, the journalists also points out the various dilemmas: Consumers don't want to buy expensive toys, consumers don't have the information (they don't know how the puppets were produced), furthermore the standards for such ratings are not very clear etc.
But one thing seems clear to me: Hiding from the press is no good anyway. You get the bad role.
You can read the article of the Tages-Anzeiger online, if you handle the german ;-)
