Konzerne an die Kette!

Whether in food, clothing, or smartphones: human suffering and environmental destruction are embedded in all our consumer goods. Most of the time, this remains hidden, as corporations deliberately operate with a lack of transparency and systematically circumvent legal boundaries. As a result, they violate human rights and environmental standards unchecked and unpunished, both in distant countries and right in the heart of Europe. This book shows what we can do about it. Veronika and Sebastian Bohrn Mena scrutinize the textile, food, and raw materials industries, giving a voice to those affected by exploitation and tracing the associated extent of environmental destruction. At the same time, they demonstrate how and where resistance is already emerging, why the current proposals for a supply chain law are far too weak, and what concrete options we have to make a difference through our consumer choices and our power as citizens.
