CSR Asia has directed my attention to a gripping series of photos of Chinese factories.

Thanks to Andrea Oschetti - who head’s up PwC’s Sustainable Business
Solutions section in Hong Kong and is a very hot photographer himself -
for the links to Michael Wolf’s photos from Chinese factories (one of
which I’ve posted here). Michael has just “clinched first prize
in the contemporary issues section of the World Press Photo annual
awards, the most prestigious in press photography.” You can see more of
his prize-winning photos here.
