"Europe cannot, on the one hand, pose as a champion of climate justice and human rights and, on the other, protect the impunity of its companies when they operate abroad." #FairSteel #CSDDD #CorporateAccountability #GreenTransition #HumanRights #DueDiligence

In a powerful op-ed published in Le Nouvel Obs, French Green Party members urge President Emmanuel Macron not to back down on the #CSDDD, highlighting cases documented in the Fair Steel Coalition's "The Real Cost of Steel Report." nouvelobs.com/economie/20250…

Yesterday in Luxembourg, community defenders gathered outside ArcelorMittal to say: stop backtracking on people and planet!

Ricardo and Antonio should have been with us here today, but they forcibly disappeared after speaking out against Ternium’s devastating activities in Mexico. No one knows where they are. Why won’t Ternium engage with their families and provide real support? They deserve better.

Today, outside Ternium headquarters in Luxembourg, community defenders from Brazil, Liberia, South Africa, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Mexico showed up with one message: it’s time to end years of corporate impunity.

Today, we are at the seminar 'Mining and Steel Industry Supply Chain and Climate: From Corporate Accountability to the Defense of Human Rights,' where perspectives from academia, civil society, social movements, @OACNUDH @ONU_derechos and affected communities are shared to exchange insights and strategies for advocacy. This event addresses the importance of 1) safeguarding human rights and 2) holding companies accountable in order to effectively address climate change within the mining and steel industry, as well as the sector's impact on emissions and its role in the energy transition make it critical.
