BANGKOK — Only three of seven major supermarket operators were given scores on transparency and accountability in the first ever assessment made in Thailand by a rights organization and its partners.

 

Oxfam Thailand released a 38-page report and supermarket policy scorecard for the first time Wednesday, covering seven major retailers and chains in the country.

 

Makro, CP Fresh Mart and Tesco Lotus were respectively given 3, 1 and 1 points of a possible 10; while Big C, Foodland, Gourmet Market and Villa Market did not receive scores due to lack of data.

Oxfam Thailand is a part of Oxfam International, which in turn is part the well-known charity headquartered in Oxford, England.

There is plenty of transparency on pricing though they are all the same?

How would Oxfam, score itself on  transparency and accountability???

 

I guess it would be better for Oxfam to clean their own house first from their problems on transparency and accountability, after their many events and systematic behavior of sexual harassment , rape and mis-use of under-aged prostitutes.

Oxfam spouting on about transparency That is as bloody joke.

Oxfam need to get their own house in order before criticizing others.

An organization riddled with pedos, men misusing funds to satisfy their sexual fantasies.

Then allowing a woman ( deputy ceo) to fall on her sword, taking the wrap for a bunch of pervs.

Tops is at the top of my list for always being "out of stock" and gets my worst management ever award. ?
