Decoupling Among CSR Policies, Programs, and Impacts: An Empirical Study (2019, background): “In a study to the compliance of Chinese suppliers with Swedish toy retailers’ code of conduct, Egels-Zandén (2007) showed that Chinese suppliers had consciously developed methods for deceiving the monitoring organizations.”
Private Regulation and Trade Union Rights: Why Codes of Conduct Have Limited Impact on Trade Union Rights (2014, background): “Numerous scholars have stressed that increased worker involvement is central to improving compliance with codes of conduct (Anner 2012; O’Rourke and Brown 2003; Egels-Zandén 2007).”
Revisiting Supplier Compliance with MNC Codes of Conduct: Recoupling Policy and Practice at Chinese Toy Suppliers (2014, methodology): “However, this study relies on Nike’s internal auditing protocols, which is problematic given that previous research has identified quality problems in corporate audits (cf. O’Rourke 1997; Hemphill 2004; Egels-Zandén 2007).”
Rana Plaza collapse aftermath: Are CSR compliance and auditing pressures effective? (2016, background): “In a similar vein, Egels-Zandén (2007) finds that Chinese toy suppliers comply with just the formally monitored part of the code, such as codes on working hours, the minimum wage, child labour, employment contracts, and health and safety education.”
The New Political Role of Business in a Globalized World – A Review of a New Perspective on CSR and its Implications for the Firm, Governance, and Democracy (2011, unknown): “Scholars have started to examine the development of “soft law” regimes within supply chains (Egels-Zandén, 2007) as well as their performance (Chatterji and Levine, 2006; Kolk and van Tulder, 2002; Santoro, 2003), credibility (Laufer, 2003), and auditing challenges (Hess, 2001).”
Do codes of conduct improve worker rights in supply chains? A study of Fair Wear Foundation (2015, background): “This is often the case in qualitative studies of small numbers of suppliers (Barrientos and Smith, 2007; Chan and Siu, 2010; Egels-Zandén, 2007), but is lacking in most quantitative studies (see Brown et al., 2013a, 2013b, for an exception).”
Trade-offs in Supply Chain Transparency: The Case of Nudie Jeans Co (2015, background): “The underlying assumption is that supply chain transparency can make firms’ sustainability attempts more effective and help overcome some of the problems identified in previous research into voluntary corporate supply chain commitments in developing countries (Egels-Zandén, 2007).”
