CAFOD Outlines Objections to With Wal-Mart’s Love Earth Jewelry

Posted on October 28th, 2008 by admin

Introduction:

When I visited England recently, I was impressed to find fair trade literature in churches. Much of this was the work of CAFOD, which stands for The Catholic Agency for Overseas Development, a UK based relief agency that works in over sixty countries world wide.

This letter, sent on September 29th, 2008, clearly and concisely outlines CAFOD’s broad concerns over Wal-Mart’s new jewelry line.

This is the fourth of a series of posts on Wal-Mart. See the others in the Wal-Mart category to the right.

Thanks to Sarah Barnett, Policy Researcher for CAFOD, for permission to post.
