A milestone for people & the planet! The @Europarl_EN has backed a proposal for a new corporate accountability law. We're one step closer to strong rules to prevent companies harming the environment or #HumanRights. This could be ground-breaking - but the fight is not over yet.

What a day. Today’s vote on responsible businesses is a victory for workers, the environment, for companies that are serious about sustainability and for the European Parliament as a whole. A huge thank you to all those involved in this project - inside @Europarl_EN & outside it.

The European Parliament cleared an important hurdle today on the long road to ensuring #corporateaccountability for human rights abuses and environmental harm. Forward ever ✊

NEW 🚨 French waste management giant @Veolia is accused of buying a “toxic” Colombian landfill & has failed to address the risks to defenders who speak out about pollution. We need the EU 🇪🇺 to pass a strong #CSDDD law to stop corporate abuse like this. https://t.co/oYNvL6151z
