Climate change and weather extremes are already impacting millions ofpeople, devastating crops, eroding coastlines, and threatening freshwater reserves.A continued build-up of greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution is expected to lead towarming, more acidic oceans and a continued rise in the sea level, changed weatherpatterns, and an even more significant threat to supplies of food, water, and fish(IPCC 2014). The food and agriculture sector is particularly vulnerable and will behit in multiple ways (FAO 2016a).

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Switzerland are the backbone of the Swiss economy and account for 2/3 of employers in the country. This paper examines decent work and sustainable economic growth as promoted by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8. The author focuses on Small and Medium Enterprises and discusses business ethics and human-centred values as drivers of inclusive change. We argue that Swiss Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), in many cases, create a new paradigm of doing business, relying on tradition, innovation and a focus on essential human values. Traditional communitarian values, a vision for innovation, democratic flat decision-making structures and transparency, as well as financial independence, are crucial elements of the SME-strategy, offering decent work and a sustainable long-term prosperity. As an example of a Swiss SME, we examine Wyon AG a small high-end technology firm in the village of Steinegg, District of Rüte, in the Canton Appenzell Innerrhoden. This is a desk research.

The mobile labour force is benefiting host societies with diverse forms of human capital. The economic value and potential of people migrating for work offer incentives for the development of illicit and abusive practices that take advantage of the vulnerability of the migrants and the lack of institutional attention and experience. This may happen regardless of the skill level of the migrants, but especially those migrants who are new, inexperienced and low skilled may be targeted by actors who wish to exploit their lack of knowledge. These mechanisms may start as early as during recruitment in the home country by transnational criminal networks, but they also emerge organically in the host country if activity- scapes are available for such practices. This new phenomenon of human trafficking, slavery and abuse related to work has entered Finland during recent decades. The actors involved are often of foreign origin or within ethnic enclaves, which creates cultural and language-related divides at an institutional level as well. We found that a host country context that is highly developed may not have the institutional experience, understanding or attention required to combat the phenomenon effectively. We suggest that preventive governance with more targeted collaboration across governance, diaspora organisations and civil society could reduce illicit opportunities and increase awareness of what is appropriate and acceptable, i.e. decent work.
