Social responsibility in the procurement of computers
At least 2,146 people have signed so far. Help us get to 10,000 signatures!
Every day, electronics workers worldwide are facing long hours and dangerous working conditions to produce the computers and gadgets that have improved our lives in so many different ways. They are exposed to dangerous chemicals and earn too little to live a decent life. Regularly they are tricked out of parts of their salary and social benefits.
But Public Institutions, like universities, can make a change. Because of their strong buying power, by including social criteria in the procurement process they can greatly contribute to reducing poverty and improving the working conditions in the producing countries.
Sign the petition urging European universities and polytechnics to include social criteria into their procurement processes and endorse a resolution at their universities ensuring social responsibility in the procurement of computers.
Signatures will be delivered to universities around Europe when we reach 10.000! Click here to sign on now and spread the word.
