Dear ___________ MP,
Parliament will debate the Company Law Reform Bill this spring. This is a unique opportunity to help deliver trade justice and make UK companies accountable for the impact of their activities in the UK and overseas.
At present, the proposed bill only obliges company directors to deliver profits to shareholders. It denies justice to people overseas whose health, livelihoods and environment are being harmed by irresponsible UK companies.
Please back amendments to the bill so that:
- Companies are legally required to report on their social and environmental impacts.
- Directors are legally obliged to minimise any damage their company does to local communities and the environment.
- People overseas who are harmed by the activities of a UK company are able to take action against them in a UK court.
Please sign Early Day Motion 697 ‘Modernising Company Law’ and write to Alun Michael MP, Minister for Industry. Please urge him to amend the Company Law Reform Bill to hold companies accountable for their impact on workers, communities and the environment.
Yours sincerely
