Jane Shepherdson: from Topshop to Oxfam
2008-05-11 04:06:00 Jane Shepherdson: from Topshop to Oxfam Single-handedly responsible for the success story that is Topshop, Jane Shepherdson, the fairy godmother of the high street, is now working her magic on Whistles and Oxfam. Cat Callender uncovers the steely determination beneath her bubbly exterior Jane Shepherdson has been dubbed the most important woman in fashion and the most influential person on the British high street. But her wardrobe is still a mess. Its contents are barely contained when the doors spring back, her crumpled clothes slung on to wire hangers (yes, wire, not even plastic) and her shoes thrown in a pile underneath. No colour-coordinated rows of pristine clothes or Polaroids on shoeboxes here. 'What? Euch, isn't that just what designers do?' says Shepherdson, recoiling at the thought that anyone would consider her so obsessive.Jane Shepherdson: 'Oxfam said "I hear you've got a bit of time on your hands." I thought, "Quite cheeky, but good for you."'The former brand ...

Investing for Life: If you believe Oxfam it means making slaves of the best
2007-12-04 21:10:00 Some products are so critical to life and living that their absence would cause tremendous harm to society. One such line of products are pharmaceutical medications aimed at combating the diseases that fall predominantly on the poor. Oxfam ? a non-governmental organisation dedicated to ?finding lasting solutions to poverty and injustice? ? has released a report, ?Investing for Life? in which they claim to have identified the source of injustice and illness amongst the world?s poor. It is the world?s large pharmaceutical firms. Oxfam claims that, by enforcing their intellectual property rights and charging high prices for their products, Big Pharma is undermining everyone?s universal ?right? to health. Error of logic # 1: Forcing businesses to give away their IP for expensive R&D is a great way to encourage them to do research “The industry?s responses to flagging financial performance ? hiking up prices, aggressively defending patents and prolonging existing ones throu...
Biofuel rush harmful, Oxfam warns
2007-11-01 20:54:00 The rush for biofuels could harm the world's poorest people, Oxfam has said. The irony is that originally the cutting of the CO2 was thought to help the people in the third world. And the cutting down of the rain-forest is also a very interesting way to save the planet. Oh well, it's the good intentions that count, not the resulting consequences, right?

¿Hablan lo suficiente Intermón Oxfam y Repsol YPF?
2007-07-25 17:08:00 Repsol YPF ha respondido a las acusaciones de Intermón Oxfam diciendo que respecta los derechos de los indígenas del Perú y que cumple la legislación. Además, manifiesta que el diálogo con la sociedad y el respeto a los derechos humanos preside cualquiera de sus acciones a nivel internacional. No lo dudo. Acto seguido enumera las acciones que está llevando a cabo concretamente en Perú. Al conocerlas casi escribo al señor Brufau para felicitarle, en lugar de sumarme a la carta a la que nos invita a enviarle Intermón Oxfam.Intermón Oxfam, por su parte, acusa a Repsol de vulnerar el ?derecho a consulta?, como recomienda la Convención de la OIT, a la que está sumada Repsol YPF y el Gobierno del Perú, aunque reconoce que gran parte de culpa es de la legislación peruana. Luego hablan de que una contrata de Repsol YPF paga menos de lo que Repsol YPF había prometido. Vaya. Finalmente exige a Repsol YPF que se base en la legislación española cuando ésta sea más exigente que la del país donde...
