This is the picture we can’t show you.
These are the stories we can’t tell.
We can’t tell you about the murders or the violence.
We can’t tell you about the communities displaced from their homes - or the toxic waste that threatens the health of entire villages.
To do so risks the safety and future employment of those who speak. It risks legal battles we can’t afford. It also risks making a widespread issue appear like a series of isolated incidents.
But here’s what we can tell you…
Fatal flaws in our justice system mean that businesses in the UK are not only getting away with assault, slavery, child labour, environmental destruction and even death, they’re profiting from them.
This year, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change this - and we need your help to seize it.
How you can help take human rights abuses off UK shop shelves
The moment is here.
In 2026 - starting as soon as April - lawmakers in the UK will consider proposing a game-changing piece of legislation which would hold companies to account for their actions – helping ensure that products sold on UK shelves are free from human rights violations.
Transform Trade, as part of a coalition, has been pushing for a Business, Human Rights and Environment Act to hold businesses accountable for years. Now in 2026, we have the opportunity to make it a reality.
We need your help to get this law across the line – and make sure it is sharp and consequential for businesses that commit crimes in the name of profit. Your donations strengthen the call for change.
