Tesco Christmas furore flags limits of ESG crusade dasha_reuters

British grocer Tesco suspended a Chinese supplier of Christmas cards on Dec. 22 after a press report said a customer found a message written inside a card saying it had been packed by foreign prisoners who were victims of forced labour.

According to a Sunday Times article, the message inside the card read: “We are foreign prisoners in Shanghai Qingpu Prison China. Forced to work against our will. Please help us and notify human rights organization,” asking the recipient to contact Peter Humphrey, a British former journalist and corporate fraud investigator.

China dismissed the accusations. China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a press briefing on Dec. 23:"I can responsibly say, according to the relevant organs, Shanghai's Qingpu prison does not have this issue of foreign prisoners being forced to work."
