* [[Workers' rights]] - Information about how well or how badly the production chain treats it's [[employee]]s. This information has quite different meanings in countries of different development stages. For example in Finland the right to and the ability to belong to a trade union can be taken for granted. Also laws exist to ensure equality and work place safety, prohibit discrimination and granted is also the right to have maternal and parental leaves without the fear of losing one's job and so forth. In less developed coutries such laws may not exist or they are not upheld. If this is the case, then examination of these matters  should be conducted on a regional or per company level. Due to the radically varying worker's rights situation in different parts of the world it seems impossible to form a unified, comparable indictor.

* [[Greedy lay off]]s: Information about massive [[lay off]]s during a [[w:profit|profit]]able [[w:fiscal year|fiscal period]]. (Supposing that the data is available, a numeric, comparable indicator can be calculated. Different formulas for calculating this are being discussed) This is a quite common practise in industrialised economies to boost [[w:share|stock]] value to [[w:yield|yield]] valueble [[w:bonus|bonus]]es and greater [[w:stock option|stock option]] gains to the [[highest management]].
