Smart regulation: Legislative opportunities for the EU to improve corporate accountability
ECCJ is the leading network that brings together national platforms and over 200 civil society organisations working on issues of Corporate Justice around Europe, including trade unions, consumers’ organizations and NGOs like the FIDH and national chapters of Oxfam, Greenpeace, Amnesty International and Friends of the Earth.
After comprehensive legal research and by advancing some of the European
Parliaments’ recommendations of its resolution on CSR, ECCJ together with MEPs, lawyers, and representatives
of the civil society, will present a range of proposals that aim at
strengthening EU legislation to provide greater accountability for EU companies
when acting abroad.
Proposals include:
- Extending parent company liability
- Establishing duty of care onto parent companies
- Mandatory social and environmental reporting
