The unaccountable power of corporations drives policies that keep the poor poor, degrade our environment, abuse human rights and undermine democracy. In 2008 the People & Planet network decided to take back control, by fighting Corporate Power.

Every day we read news reports of sweatshop labour, suffering farmers and exploited workers in the Global South. Sometimes it seems like the huge power of corporations to abuse people’s human rights and ruin the environment is unstoppable.

But we know it’s not. People & Planet’s campaigning has created 100 Fairtrade Status Universities, has persuaded Tescos to double its Fairtrade cotton uniforms, and has recently forced a huge clothing corporation to respect its workers rights.

Now we are going further. We want to defend the human rights of the people that make everything universities buy.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Nelson Mandela
