Reclaim Education
Welcome to our brand new campaign kicking off in November this year

The unaccountable power of corporations drives policies that keep the poor poor, degrade our environment, abuse human rights and undermine democracy.

Higher education in the UK is a powerful force intellectually and financially. At the moment it is complicit in human rights abuses, environmental destruction and perpetuating poverty through its procurement and research relationships with irresponsible corporations.

There is currently a massive missed opportunity for higher education to pioneer new models of operating and innovating in a way that is socially and environmentally beneficial not just for corporate profit. This campaign therefore aims to both Reclaim Procurement and Reclaim Research for positive social and environmental change.
