Hold Corporate Polluters Accountable

For too long, corporate polluters have been able to game the system, degrading our environment for their own financial gain. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, corporate polluters are pushing the federal government to roll back essential environmental protections. Elected officials have a responsibility to ensure that policy and funding solutions protect the communities they represent by holding polluters accountable and safeguarding public health, workers, and the environment.

Corporate Responsibility

Large corporations must not get a free ride and need to be held accountable to the communities they serve, the workers they employ, and they have a responsibility to pay for the harm they cause on our environment.

Local

  • Update contracting policies to support companies that give workers a stronger voice in decision-making, commit to local economic recovery, decarbonize their operations, and protect public health and the environment

  • Enhance programs that improve corporate responsibility for end-of-life management, ensure true recyclability, and use safer chemicals and materials for plastics, batteries, pharmaceuticals, and other harmful products
