There’s a bit of a debate going on approximately the draft Social Charter recently published by the Dutch Banking organization (Dutch acronym: NVB). The initial response from civil society has been less than encouraging – the Social Charter is claimed not to be strict enough. The question is whether the debate addresses the right issue and the right actor: should NVB write a ‘stricter’ Social Charter for all banks or should the banks themselves occupy things forward? And is stricter really the solution?
