Our founder Anita Roddick once said: "If trade enhances life then it can better the world."🌎 We couldn't agree more! That's why we've signed a joint statement in support of the @EU_Commission calling for mandatory #BizHumanRights and environmental laws in #SupplyChains🖊️👇

Where there's a will, there's a way, as has been clearly shown. Hoping we can bring same will to social justice.

[Philip Alston @PhilipGAlston]

My first report in this mandate observed that poverty is a political choice, and everything I have done over the past six years confirms that governments could, if they had the will, have entirely eliminated extreme poverty by now.

.@ihrb's Top Ten #bizhumanrights issues list is spot on - it includes a just transition in the #climatecrisis, the #purpose of the corporation developments, worker voice, gender identity and #HRDD legislation, among other important issues

[Pins Brown @PinsBrown]

Useful #livingwage learning from the multi-stakeholder frontline. Minimum wage setting + updating crucial.

See how @TheBodyShop helped produce resources to inform teenagers how they can understand and make a difference. My 14yr old liked them! see https://t.co/zlHWJPfJSh #WorldEnvironmentDay #ClimateCrisis

[The Body Shop @TheBodyShop]

For #WorldEnvironmentDay, we polled 1,000 UK teenagers about their attitudes towards sustainability, and found that 80% feel pressured to save the planet but don't think they are well-enough equipped to make a difference: https://t.co/UvVloWuTK9
