At last a responsible supermarket?
Sometimes life can be a bit confusing can't it?

For a BBC assessment of the announcement read this. For the M and S press release click here

If M&S were still in Canada I'd buy as much from them as possible. At the end of the day corporations have no "duty" to act responsibly: they merely respond to our demands. The onus is on us.
Ross. You assume that corporations are neutral and have no obligation other than to their customers. Can this really be true?
