Mission & Goals
The European Coalition for Corporate Justice (ECCJ) advocates for European laws that guarantee corporate accountability and transparency, and ensure justice for victims of corporate malpractice. With 21 member groups representing over 480 organisations from 18 countries, ECCJ is the only European coalition bringing together campaigns and national platforms of NGOs, trade unions, consumer organisations and academics in order to promote corporate accountability. The coalition has been set up in 2006 and has established a coordination office in Brussels. Originally the legal entity was a foundation based in the Netherlands, but in 2018, ECCJ registered as a non-profit organisation (ASBL) under Belgian law. We are guided by a vision of a sustainable world in which corporations’ drive for profit is balanced with the interests of society at large, and where businesses respect human, social and environmental rights.
EU Legislative Interests
Generally, ECCJ targets policy instruments that relate to corporate accountability, access to justice and corporate transparency. During the new mandate of the Commission and the European Parliament, ECCJ will focus on the implementation of the review of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, the adoption of due diligence rules for the financial sector, and the development of climate due diligence standards. ECCJ works on DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence and amending Directive Regulation on prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market, COM(2022) 453 Directive as regards corporate sustainability reporting COM(2021) 189 final regulation concerning batteries and waste batteries, repealing Directive 2006/66/EC and amending Regulation (EU) EU action plan on human rights and democracy
