Corporate power

Reclaiming people’s rights.
![]()
A just and sustainable economic system should protect people’s health and livelihoods and our environment.
Yet our political and economic system puts corporate interests ahead of people and the planet, be it through trade and investment deals, global supply chains or lobby power.
Our economic system grants enormous powers to transnational corporations which destroy the environment and violate human rights, particularly in the Global South.
We demand that the EU and the international community hold corporations accountable for the harm they cause around the world.
We are campaigning for an overhaul of the current trade model and for democratic, fair and transparent decision-making that puts people and the planet first.
We support environmental and human rights defenders.
