Mission & Interests

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 20 member groups representing over 450 organisations from 17 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.
