Planet over Profit campaign stall @ Unicorn

Join us on Saturday 2nd December on a Planet over Profit campaign stall at Unicorn Grocery in Chorlton.

We will be talking to people about the Planet over Profit campaign and asking people to sign the national petition calling on the UK Parliament to create a new law to hold business, finance and the public sector to account when they fail to prevent supply chain human rights abuses and environmental harms.

Our world’s natural resources are being exploited to make countless everyday products, from chicken produced by soy-fed animals to soaps made with palm oil. Many companies involved in these global supply chains are wreaking havoc on our planet’s life support systems.

And this environmental destruction comes hand in hand with human rights abuses, particularly for people in poorer countries. These communities bear the brunt of deforestation, land grabbing and displacement, while global corporations reap the profits.

While many of us are conscious about the choices we make, shady practices from businesses behaving badly make it hard to see the impact of what we buy. But they must be held accountable for any damage they cause.

That’s why, together with the Corporate Justice Coalition, we’re part of the Good Business Matters  campaign, calling for a new UK law that requires companies to avoid harm to people and planet in their supply chains.

If you would like to learn more about the campaign or help out on the campaign stall for an hour or two, please pop in on the day or email us at  office@manchesterfoe.org.uk

We will be there from 10am till 4pm.
