On 15 April 2014, the EP adopted a reform to strengthen corporate accountability and transparency regarding the impact of businesses’ activities on human rights, the environment and society.

FIDH is a member of the Steering Group of the European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ) which actively campaigned for legislative reform and accountability.
