Corporate accountability collection
Overview
Globalisation has given corporations unprecedented power and influence, with profound impacts on people and communities worldwide. While businesses can drive positive change, Amnesty International UK has also exposed widespread abuses where weak regulation allows human rights to be undermined.
This collection brings together resources examining corporate impacts on human rights and our work to hold companies to account.
