Business as usual is not working.

Advancing corporate accountability requires both addressing the roots of corporate abuses and ensuring that businesses are held responsible for harm they cause.

Corporations respond to the incentives and disincentives provided to them. When businesses are incentivized to maximize profit with minimal constraints, this often results in exploitation and the concentration of corporate power. But altering those incentive structures has the potential to alter corporate behavior to prevent harm and protect what matters most.

This means that to build a future that protects people and our planet, we need commonsense laws that prevent goods made using exploitative practices from entering the market and ensures companies take action to prevent abuses, actively engage with communities, and take responsibility and repair damage when they cause harm.
