SPEAK’s Big Dress Campaign, as part of the Trade Justice Movement and the Corporate Responsibility (CORE) Coalition, is calling for multinational companies to be held accountable for how they treat their workers and impact on the places in which they invest... We are calling for changes in the law in the UK, Europe and globally, which would ensure that companies are held legally accountable for their social, environmental and economic impacts both at home and abroad. Our specific Big Dress Campaign goals focus on three key areas for changes in the law: Accountable – Broader responsibilities for directors of companies so that if they do not take all the necessary steps possible to limit the negative social and environmental impacts of their businesses they are legally accountable for damage they cause. Careful – Allowing communities harmed by UK companies’ overseas operations to bring cases against them in the UK, if justice fails them in the country in which an abuse took place. Transparent – Companies should report annually on their global social, human rights and environmental impact to clear standards with the effectiveness of this monitored. Join the Big Dress Campaign and raise these concerns with your MP and MEPs.
