As a member of the steering group, the European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ), representing more than 250 NGOs, trade unions and consumer groups members of the European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ) is asking the EU to adopt a regulatory framework to address corporate responsibility. FIDH has also been actively involved in encouraging the EU to align its policies and instruments dedicated to the promotion of human rights with its trade and development policies.
Through this contribution, FIDH comments some of the initiatives put forward by NGOs such as the European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ) and the uptake of CSR triggered by their advocacy actions. FIDH also highlights what should be the EU’s priorities to prevent drawbacks; fulfil its duty to protect all human rights from abuses committed by or with the complicity of corporations and to promote responsible corporate behaviour.
