Campaigns
The Corporate Responsibility (CORE) Coalition regularly works with a range of experts, academics, community representatives, policy makers, trade unions, womens’ groups, corporations and non-governmental organisations to build campaigns to reduce the negative impacts of companies’ on people and the environment. CORE’s work is guided by three principles:
- the need for greater transparency of business operations
- better accountability of businesses for their impacts on people and the environment
- improved access to justice for victims of harmful corporate conduct.
Call for a UK Commission for Business, Human Rights & The Environment
Too often UK companies are not held accountable for their actions overseas under circumstances where they should be. Better systems need to be introduced to ensure UK companies respect human rights and protect the environment when operating abroad.
The Companies Act (2006)
CORE was instrumental in securing changes to company law, increasing corporate responsibility for people and the environment.
