State of Workers / Heat Stress

14 May 2025

5 minutes
Extreme temperatures are rapidly becoming an everyday part of working life around the world. With global temperatures now 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, once-a-decade heatwaves will become biannual events by 2030. Garment workers, especially those in Cambodia, are vulnerable to such climate extremities.

There Is No More Effective Policy for Reducing Heat Risks than a Fair Workplace and Fair Pay

Socially disadvantaged people are disproportionately affected by temperature extremes. A recent study explored this point in Cambodia: one of the world's hottest and most humid countries. It evidenced the extent of the heat exposure faced by workers in Cambodia and the way occupational, environmental and geographical dynamics combine to shape it. The study’s lead author, Dr Laurie Parsons of Royal Holloway, University of London, contextualises this for the country’s garment workers.

Without binding frameworks, supply chains will continue to operate on a model of plausible deniability and race-to-the-bottom pricing.

Nike's Unpaid Wages and Erosion of Corporate Credibility in Global Supply Chains

The Nike case should not be treated as an isolated scandal but as a structural failing that demands structural reform. Without enforceable standards, empowered worker representation, and legal accountability, the cycle of exploitation will persist—repackaged each time with a new corporate excuse.

M&S Attack / The Ramifications

7 May 2025

7 minutes
Modern retailers must accept that transformation isn't just customer-facing. It must go down to the root—network segmentation, zero-trust architecture, robust identity access management. Otherwise, all the retail innovation in the world is just expensive window dressing.

M&S Cyberattack Must Be Seen as Wake-Up Call for Somnolent Global Retailers

Retail has become cybercrime’s favourite playground. From Target’s catastrophic 2013 breach to British Airways’ record GDPR fine, the past decade has been a brutal education in digital vulnerability. Yet, as this April’s M&S incident proves, many still haven’t learned their lesson.
