- Can we rely on big business to do the right thing?
- Do we need governments to curb corporate power and make companies act more responsibly?
- How do we ensure multinationals contribute to sustainable development, trade justice and making poverty history?

Why now? The UK parliament is debating the Company Law Reform Bill. We have a unique opportunity to tackle irresponsible behaviour by UK companies by changing the laws that govern how they operate.

Come and learn about the issues and how you can get more involved in Right Corporate Wrongs - the campaign to stop UK companies profiting at the expense of people and the planet.
