CORE’s new report, The Bottom Line: UK Corporate Abuse Overseas brings together ten recent case studies of serious abuses linked to UK corporations’ international operations...A clear pattern emerges of insurmountable barriers to justice for victims, and few, if any consequences for the companies concerned. None of the companies featured in The Bottom Line has been subject to meaningful sanction in the UK. The world over, some UK businesses are behaving in ways that would be unacceptable at home and getting away with it....In September 2013, the UK government broke new ground when it released the world’s first Business and Human Rights Action Plan, setting out how the UK would implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.The Action Plan is now being updated, with a revised version due to be published by the end of the year. This presents a vital opportunity to create a corporate culture in which serious malpractice, anywhere, is unacceptable.
