All Party Parliamentary Group
The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on International Corporate Responsibility: Business, Human Rights and the Environment was established by Lisa Nandy MP in December 2010. It is a cross party grouping of MPs and Peers from the British parliament who have come together to examine corporate responsibility.
The APPG seeks to raise awareness on issues surrounding business, human rights and the environment amongst Parliamentarians and to provide a forum for debate on responsibility of companies that operate across national boundaries. The CORE coalition funds a part-time coordinator for the Group and works closely with its members to hold both government and corporations to account on transparency, accountability and access to justice.
The elected officers of the group are:
Chair, Lisa Nandy MP Vice-Chair, Caroline Lucas MP
Vice-Chair, Martin Horwood MP Vice-Chair, Jon Cruddas MP
Secretary, Teresa Pearce MP Treasurer, Virendra Sharma MP
Qualifying members of the group:
John Hemming Baroness Stern
Andrew Rosindell Lord Harries of Pentregarth
Dr Julian Huppert Lord Dubs
Jon Trickett Lord Eden of Winton
Nia Griffith Baroness Tonge
Lorely Burt Lord Myners
Simon Hughes John Leech
Tim Farron
