A group of leading UK charities has launched a manifesto setting out recommendations to improve sustainability and corporate accountability practices. The CORE Coalition...is calling on the UK’s political parties to commit to make companies more accountable on corporate tax avoidance, human rights abuses within their supply chains and access to justice for victims of corporate abuse. The CORE Coalition argues that greater clarity from the government on what’s expected from companies will help to reinforce responsible business practices. The manifesto, titled ‘Doing Business Better’, has been launched just in time for the autumn political party conferences. Marilyn Croser, Director of CORE, said, “Consumers and investors’ expectations of ethical business standards are growing. The next government will need to take clear, urgent and coherent action to address irresponsible corporate behaviour.
