Greedy UK companies are raking in billions while precious forests are destroyed worldwide. Their “cutting-edge technology” and “blue-sky thinking” is having a devastating impact on wildlife, climate and communities. And we’re often unknowingly buying harmful products as they hide their shady practices.
But shockingly, for these giant faceless corporates, harm to people and planet is “just business”. Even worse, our government is letting them get away with it. We must act now to save our world’s forests – before it’s too late.
Will you help put a stop to it?
Why we need a new law
It’s not “just business” if companies are profiting at the expense of nature and communities. That’s why we’re calling on the UK government to protect people and planet with a new law – the Business, Human Rights and Environment Act.
This would make UK companies legally responsible for environmental harms and human rights abuses that happen during the making and delivery of their products. And impacted communities around the world could finally seek justice in UK courts.
So a new law would protect nature and champion human rights by establishing stronger rules for UK businesses. Now that’s “thinking outside the box”.
