Across the UK, communities are coming together to call for a new law that makes businesses accountable - ensuring what we buy doesn’t come at the cost of people or the planet, and that companies can no longer profit from exploitation and violence. ![]()

We are proud to publicly show our support for stronger laws on corporate accountability by adding Transition Buxton’s name to a national declaration.
