Congratulations to the whole team have worked so hard on this – I’m delighted to see our strong new logo and visual identity. The new organisational name reinforces our mission as it has evolved over the last 12 years.
Business and Human Rights Centre@BHRCmedia

📢 Big news: we are now the Business and Human Rights Centre! This small but important change reflects the evolving nature of our work and is a simpler, more dynamic reflection of our contribution to the wider business and human rights movement. business-humanrights.org/en/from-us/pre…

To address inequality and instead create fair outcomes from the transitions we're facing, we need vibrant democracies and decisive governments willing to listen to their peoples and bring systemic change that delivers shared prosperity.

I unpacked some of the core drivers of abuse by companies - from the world's inequality emergency, to the ecological crisis, to the technological revolution that is upon us - and offered suggestions for some of the strategies that civil society might adopt to push for change.

As the world looks towards the possibility of reconstruction and regeneration for Gaza post-ceasefire, it is essential that companies and investors do not place profit ahead of human rights and Palestinian self-determination. Michael and I explain why: business-humanrights.org/en/blog/rebuil…

My latest opinion piece with @HeidiHautala on the proposed US-EU trade deal, which potentially marks a worrying capitulation by Europe via promises to gut its sustainability due diligence legislation.
Business and Human Rights Centre@BHRCmedia

Last week’s statement on a US-EU trade deal reveals Europe seems ready to concede to US pressures on vital Green Deal laws - including CSDDD. The latest opinion piece from @HeidiHautala + @pbloomer explores implications + options for Europe's leaders: bhrrc.org/en/blog/to-lea…

Thanks @PhilippaNuttall + team @sustainviews for their ongoing spotlight on corporate impunity in the occupied Palestinian territories. Businesses may think their activities in the occupied territories will have no repercussions, but this complacency will come back to bite them.

Several companies celebrated for their green credentials are also named in UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s report for their role in sustaining a “system of entrenched injustice” amid unfolding genocide in Gaza. 1/4

An important briefing from Chris Avery and team at Donations and Democracy, exposing the UK-based multinationals continuing to fund politicians who had tried to overturn the results of a democratic election. Great to have this accountability of UK companies and trade associations

UN experts have repeatedly warned of "patterns of genocidal conduct" & other war crimes in Gaza. Business leaders have a choice—but they are running out of time. From me & @IPietropaoli in today's FT @sustainviews
Business and Human Rights Centre@BHRCmedia

The devastation inflicted on Gaza’s population could not happen without the support of private sector actors. In a new @sustainviews piece @pbloomer + @IPietropaoli argue that responsible disengagement + exit are the only legally + morally sound options sustainableviews.com/amid-the-gaza-…

Some personal news, as well as news from the organisation I am so proud to lead. After 12 amazing years as Executive Director, the time has come for me to move aside and allow @BHRRC to bring in a new leader later this year. My full reflections: bhrrc.bamboohr.com/careers/97?sou…

The #omnibus, coming at a tumultuous time for global markets, creates further uncertainty for business & investors. Responsible companies that have already invested in reporting & due diligence systems, and intend to continue, will lose out. Me & @HeidiHautala for @sustainviews
