A global movement

We collaborate with organisations and networks around the world to share knowledge and drive change at national, regional and global level.

The Global Initiative for Corporate Accountability (GICA)

CJC is a founding member of the GICA which was established by civil society groups in 2021 to promote law and policy reform to advance corporate accountability worldwide.

GICA members include representatives from five continents who meet monthly. We work together to promote strong, comprehensive due diligence laws in our respective jurisdictions, informed by an agreed set of key elements.

CJC is also co-chair of GICA’s communications working group and led the development and launch of a new hope-based messaging guide for holding corporations accountable. Following a series of training programmes, this evidence-based guide is now being used by advocates all around the world, transforming our effectiveness in communicating about the need for corporate accountability legislation.

The European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ)

CJC is a longstanding member of our sister network in the EU, and our Director has sat on the Board of the ECCJ for several years.

As a member of ECCJ we engage in regular meetings with European partners to keep up to date with corporate accountability developments and advocacy in the EU and identify opportunities where we can lend our support or work in collaboration with European civil society partners.

As a Trustee, we shape the strategic direction of the network, oversee matters and governance and policy, and support the role of the network’s Director.
