Sam Delgado at Vox:
Over the last century, people have started demanding more from the businesses where they shop. Whether it be a pair of jeans or the food on their plates, consumers want to know that what they’re buying isn’t just good quality but also ethically and sustainably made. In the early 20th century, groups like the National Consumers League and the now-defunct League of Women Shoppers organized consumers to take advantage of their power in an effort to improve labor protections and the rights of workers in the United States. Today, ethically minded consumers are also motivated by climate change and animal rights, as the consequences of our overconsumption have become clearer.
Fast-forward 90 years and the global marketplace has become exponentially more complex. Globalization has remade how and where corporations make products. If it was difficult for activists at the turn of the 20th century to identify ethically made products, the challenge to the modern consumer is even greater. You might think regulations or legislation could compel companies to produce more ethically made goods. But ultimately, no one government is responsible for a supply chain that crosses borders and oceans. In a globalized economy, nobody is in charge. So “corporate social responsibility” — or the idea that companies can hold themselves accountable — emerged, responding to this consumer demand. In practice, corporate social responsibility can look like companies donating to charities every year, committing to net-zero emissions by a certain date, or focusing on labor practices. To prove they’re doing this work, companies will partner with nonprofits or hire third-party consultants to audit their supply chains, and then measure and report their progress in annual reports, press releases, and on their websites.
[...] Corporate social responsibility went mainstream during the new wave of globalization and the growth of multinational corporations that followed in the second half of the 20th century. As these businesses expanded their reach and production speed, they sought to cut their costs by contracting cheaper labor in other countries with weak worker protections. This idea of outsourcing wasn’t necessarily new. Businesses in the US already had a history of moving to Southern states where they knew corporate regulation was more relaxed and labor would be less expensive, made possible by the racist legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws. A century later, new technology — particularly the internet — made it even easier for companies to scale up and outsource their operations. By moving overseas, companies could obscure unsafe working conditions from American consumers, who might’ve known very little about how their products were being made.
But public awareness of the costs of globalization started to grow in the early 1990s, thanks to stories and reports from human rights organizations and newsrooms that laid out the abysmal working conditions and standards of major brands, often in their factories overseas. Nike, the world’s biggest shoe seller, faced backlash after multiple stories came out about grueling conditions and the use of child labor in its contracted factories, sparking boycotts and protests against Nike from consumers and activists alike. Businesses saw how consumers could rise against them if they weren’t careful about what went on in their supply chains, leading to more companies developing their own voluntary corporate social responsibility initiatives to address their environmental and social impacts.
Today, corporate social responsibility programs are widespread. They often refer to commitments a company makes toward a particular area of social impact, like diversity, ethical sourcing, or the environment. It usually looks like this: A company will set goals around one or more of these areas, assess its progress, and then publish its results. To legitimize these programs, companies will hire social auditing firms, seek certifications from multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) like the Fair Labor Association or Fair Trade to show they meet certain standards, or develop codes of conduct around labor and human rights. Such programs matter to consumers, and they’re willing to pay more for sustainably made products — and hey, if something is good for both the world and for business, what’s the harm?
Corporate social responsibility in practice
Corporate social responsibility is everywhere today, driven by consumer demand and a growing socially conscious workforce. One 2023 study found that over 80 percent of companies are increasing their budgets for sustainability initiatives. Chief sustainability officers are now common, and more companies are disclosing the exact factories their products are made in and the reported conditions. But it’s hard to know how honest or effective these programs really are at protecting labor and the environment. Part of the issue is they’re voluntary. While companies must comply with local, federal, and international laws, that’s the end of their legal obligations. Beyond that, there’s no requirement for corporate social responsibility programs to show their methodology or metrics for calculating their progress and no obligation to release all results from a social audit. A company can change its corporate social responsibility programs at any point, or drop them entirely. [...]
The rise of worker-driven social responsibility
Around the same time that corporate social responsibility was taking off in the 1990s, a group of farmworkers in a rural Florida town called Immokalee had a meeting that would challenge the status quo, from the bottom of the supply chain all the way to the top. The farmworkers were Mexican, Guatemalan, and Haitian migrants, and they harvested buckets of tomatoes in grueling conditions for as long as 12 hours a day, receiving poverty wages for providing crucial produce to US grocery stores and restaurants. The fields they worked in were rife with verbal and physical abuse, sexual harassment, wage theft, and, in the worst cases, involuntary servitude. Tired of the exploitation they encountered in the fields, the Immokalee farmworkers discussed how they could really change the way things were done. This 1993 meeting marked the beginning of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) and, later on, the first ever worker-driven social responsibility program. Lucas Benitez, one of the founders of the CIW, told me that, at first, the farmworkers thought their employers, the tomato growers, had all the power. “Then we came to see and recognize what was essentially an invisible hand that was putting that pressure further and further down on the supply chain,” Benitez said via an interpreter. “That started at the top, because it’s those retailers that fundamentally dictate to growers the conditions under which that food is being produced. And so that’s really where the power lay, and so that’s where we turned.” In 2001, the CIW set its sights on Taco Bell and called for a boycott over the reportedly abysmal conditions in its tomato supply chain. Four years later, Taco Bell signed an agreement that included vital demands from the CIW: Taco Bell would pay a premium for its tomatoes that would go directly to workers’ paychecks, it would only buy from growers who met the code of conduct that protected workers, and this would be monitored and enforced by an investigative body with help from the CIW. It was all backed by a legally binding contract. A binding contract is crucial to worker-driven social responsibility, a sharp contrast to those toothless corporate social responsibility initiatives.
Vox takes a look at the worker-driven social responsibility trend.

How do vegan and vegetarian diets impact long-term health differently?
As more people become aware of the ethical, environmental, and health benefits of plant-based diets, veganism and vegetarianism have become increasingly popular lifestyle choices. Both diets focus on excluding meat, but they differ significantly in the inclusion of other animal products such as dairy and eggs. This distinction can lead to different long-term health outcomes depending on how these diets are followed.
What Is the Difference Between Vegan and Vegetarian Diets?
A vegan diet excludes all animal products, meaning that it avoids meat, dairy, eggs, and even honey. Veganism is often driven by ethical concerns about animal welfare, with individuals seeking to avoid contributing to the exploitation or suffering of animals. Ethical concerns such as the treatment of animals in factory farms or the research conducted on Animals used for Research can motivate people to choose a plant-based lifestyle. Many also align their vegan lifestyle with the goals of animal protection organization that focus on promoting humane treatment for all creatures.
In contrast, a vegetarian diet includes plant-based foods but allows the consumption of dairy and eggs. Vegetarians avoid meat but continue to consume other animal-derived products. This diet can be an easier transition for people looking to reduce their environmental footprint, as animal agriculture is a significant contributor to climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. However, unlike veganism, a vegetarian diet still relies on animal by-products, which may not align with the ethical stance of those concerned about animal welfare.
Health Benefits of Vegan and Vegetarian Diets
Both vegan and vegetarian diets have been shown to offer a variety of health benefits, but the long-term impact on health can vary based on the specific foods consumed and how well these diets are balanced.
Vegan Diet Health Impact:
A vegan diet has several potential health benefits, particularly when it is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Because this diet eliminates all animal products, it tends to be lower in saturated fats and cholesterol, which are found in higher quantities in meat and dairy products. The long-term benefits of a vegan diet include:
Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases: Studies have shown that vegans tend to have a lower risk of heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. The abundance of plant-based foods, rich in antioxidants, fiber, and essential nutrients, helps reduce inflammation and prevent these conditions.
Weight Management: Vegan diets are typically lower in calorie density, which can contribute to better weight management. Many people find it easier to maintain a healthy weight on a vegan diet due to the higher consumption of vegetables, fruits, and legumes.
Better Digestive Health: The high fiber content in plant-based foods improves digestion and supports a healthy gut microbiome. Vegan diets are rich in fiber from whole grains, beans, and vegetables, which aid in regulating bowel movements and reducing the risk of digestive disorders.
However, there are potential nutritional gaps that need to be addressed in a vegan diet. Key nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D are primarily found in animal products. Therefore, vegans must pay attention to these nutrients and either supplement them or choose fortified plant-based alternatives.
Vegetarian Diet Health Impact:
The vegetarian diet allows for the inclusion of dairy products and eggs, making it easier to meet some of the nutritional requirements that may be more challenging to fulfill on a vegan diet. This diet is associated with:
Improved Nutrient Intake: Vegetarians are likely to have better access to certain nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D, which are naturally found in dairy products and eggs. This helps reduce the risk of deficiencies in these essential nutrients.
Heart Health: Like vegan diets, vegetarian diets can lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The absence of meat reduces the intake of saturated fats, which are linked to heart disease. Consuming dairy in moderation can also provide beneficial nutrients like calcium, which is important for bone health.
Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: Studies indicate that vegetarians tend to have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to meat-eaters. This is partly due to the diet’s focus on plant-based foods that are rich in fiber and low in glycemic index.
However, vegetarians still face challenges when it comes to achieving a balanced, nutrient-dense diet. The health benefits of a vegetarian diet depend on the quality of the food choices. If a vegetarian diet consists primarily of processed foods or refined carbohydrates, it may not offer the same health benefits as one rich in whole, plant-based foods.
Long-Term Health Risks of Vegan and Vegetarian Diets
While both diets offer substantial health benefits, there are also potential risks if these diets are not followed correctly over the long term.
Vegan Diet Risks: A poorly planned vegan diet can lead to nutrient deficiencies, particularly in vitamin B12, iron, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin D. These deficiencies can result in fatigue, weakened immune function, and compromised bone health. It is important for vegans to be mindful of these nutrients and to consider supplementation or fortified foods.
Vegetarian Diet Risks: Though slightly more balanced, a vegetarian diet can also lead to nutrient deficiencies, especially if the focus is placed on dairy and eggs rather than a wide variety of plant-based foods. Iron and omega-3 fatty acids can still be a concern, as these are more abundant in meat and fish.
Ethical Considerations and Animal Welfare Impact
Both vegan and vegetarian diets align with ethical concerns related to animal welfare. Veganism in India has gained traction in recent years, as more people adopt plant-based diets to avoid contributing to animal exploitation. The work of animal protection organizations and animal funding organizations plays a significant role in educating the public about the impact of their food choices on animals.
Choosing a vegan or vegetarian diet can be an act of compassion, as it reduces the demand for animal agriculture, which is responsible for pollution and deforestation. Additionally, organizations like the Animal Welfare Board of India work tirelessly to promote ethical treatment of animals, whether through advocacy or support for animal welfare organizations.
Conclusion:
Both vegan and vegetarian diets offer substantial health benefits when properly planned, but they also come with challenges, particularly around meeting certain nutritional needs. While vegan diets are more restrictive and may require careful supplementation, they are often aligned with ethical concerns regarding animal welfare and sustainability. Vegetarian diets may be easier to follow and less prone to nutritional deficiencies, but they still contribute to the ethical debate surrounding animal treatment. As awareness about animal welfare, sustainability, and ethical food choices continues to grow, both diets offer pathways toward a healthier and more compassionate lifestyle.
