Members of the Corporate Responsibility (CORE) Coalition, including Amnesty International, Action Aid, Friends of the Earth, Traidcraft, War on Want and WWF (UK) have been tracking environmental and social problems and finding their solutions for many years.  These groups and others formed The Corporate Responsibility (CORE) Coalition in 2000 which has already made some progress in successfully reforming UK Company Law through the Companies Act which came into force in October 2007. 

There is still a governance gap in terms of ensuring that UK companies are held to account if they cause harm abroad and CORE is exploring the best way to fill this gaps.  The main themes of the Corporate Responsibility (CORE) Coalition's work include: the need for greater corporate accountability of key decision makers in companies, the importance of openness and  transparency and better access to justice for victims of corporate abuse.
