@letmebefrnk Hi Frank, a large part of our focus as an organisation is consumer boycotts and campaigns on companies.

We do cover general tax avoidance in general though and highlight the loopholes here: https://t.co/j7vKWhsdsc

[Co-operatives UK @CooperativesUK]

This #CoopFortnight we’re highlighting the crucial role of co-ops, as we call for the next government to commit to #CoopGrowth.
✊ Co-ops offer an altogether different way to do business. They’re responsible, sustainable and ambitious businesses that empower people – just like @EC_magazine, a co-op that produces ethical and eco shopping guides that help people buy ethically.
🔎 “We challenge corporate power and pressure companies to become more sustainable by helping consumers choose more ethical products,” says Writer/Researcher Ruth Strange.
🟰 “Our co-op has a flat structure with the aim of making everyone feeling empowered to input into decisions. This aligns with the values we are promoting through our publishing.
✅ “Because we talk about ethics, we give extra points in our ratings to companies that are co-ops or not for profit. So it makes sense that we are what we are advocating for.”

🪧 The UK economy needs more people and planet friendly businesses like Ethical Consumer. That’s why we’re asking you to back our Call for Co-op Growth ahead of the #GE2024 https://t.co/s2J2MdCWXa

Boycotts are a popular form of #ConsumerAction.

We recently asked our readers who or what they were boycotting, with many thinking about ways to #BoycottAmazon, avoid #PalmOil, and support the @BDSmovement and @PSCupdates campaigns.
