UK companies are profiting from supply chains that destroy precious forests worldwide, threaten wildlife and violate the rights of local communities. Whether it's timber for furniture, soy for animal feed, or palm oil in processed foods, we're often unknowingly buying products with devastating environmental and human impacts.
A new Business, Human Rights, and Environment Act would hold UK companies legally responsible for preventing harm to forests, wildlife, and communities in their supply chains – going far beyond the limited protections in the existing Environment Act and Modern Slavery Act.
Find out more about how you and your group can hold companies to account for damage they cause.
We need a new law
A new Business, Human Rights, and Environment Act would hold UK companies legally responsible for preventing harm to forests, wildlife, and communities in their supply chains.
The new law we're campaigning for would give communities affected by corporate-driven deforestation a clear path to seek justice in UK courts. Communities could sue companies for harm to their environment, lives and livelihoods, with the burden of proof on companies to show they took all reasonable steps to prevent harm.
Keep your campaign going
From winter 2025 through to spring 2026 we need to deepen support for the Planet Over Profit campaign in our local communities. We want to bring people together who have signed our petitions and shown interest in the campaign - find out how in our winter action guide.
A summer of action
Across the summer months local action groups brought the Planet over Profit campaign to local communities. They built support for the campaign among local businesses and individuals.
The summer of action may be over, but it's not too late to get creative and build support for Planet Over Profit in your area. Get involved.
