If your business model can’t survive rules that require you to prevent human rights and environmental abuses, the problem isn’t the rules - it’s your business model. #CSDDD

The opposition to EU #deregulation is gaining momentum 👏 Last week ➡️ 470 organisations denounced the EU's “unprecedented wave of drastic cuts to regulations" ➡️ almost 200,000 citizens told the EU Commission to “stop any rollback of EU nature laws” New post ⬇️ www.corporateeurope.org/en/deregulat...

"In the name of competitiveness, corporate lobby groups are promoting a radical plan of parallel, weaker rules. This could help them to avoid stricter member state rules for taxation, labour laws, and more, triggering a race to the bottom for social rights." www.corporateeurope.org/en/2025/09/s...

It's coming!! The #BackToTheFuture march 🥾💪 Let’s get together to demand - Accountability for human rights violations and pollution - Protection for communities from corporate harm We're ready to pound the pavement, fly our flags and sing out loud. Will you come along? backtothefuturemarch.org

The State-of-Union #SOTEU speech tinyurl.com/3cjau5am announced that the EC will "partner with private investors on a multi-billion euro Scaleup Europe" and introduce a weak corporate law (28th regime) for innovation & profits, which will be at the expense of workers, the green deal & public budgets

There's no place for institutional finance in rental markets. It's a predatory extraction machine that robs the poor and middle. But one thing I'd add: we should stop calling these people "investors". They don't "invest". They buy up and milk existing assets. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

AI powered rent collusion. Price fixing by algorithm. Been going on for a number of years.

An EC consultion whether citizens want an easy account to invest their safe savings into easy investment products does not guarantee good returns, sufficient information how climate & socially sustainable investee companies are nor the impact of high payouts to shareholders: Say to europa.eu/!j7FRMm

The EU Savings & Investment Unions (#SIU) wants citizens to finance EU corporations but increases financial risks for citizens & economy as @danielagabor.bsky.social ‬ explains in the FT: putting safe savings in a "savings & investment account with no guaranteed returns (see europa.eu/!j7FRMm)

In her new book “Bad Company,” journalist Megan Greenwell chronicles how private equity upended industries from health care to local news—and the ways workers are fighting back. www.wired.com/story/megan-...

The proposed a #EUDefence #Omnibus aims to raise $800 bn public & private capital, in addition to $800 private capital for EU decarbonisation & innovation. It will allow defence projects to override public interests, and include defence in sustainable finance framework. europa.eu/!xcWjRb

The run-up to #FfD4 has been inundated by the #GlobalNorth's unrelenting promotion of #PrivateFinance. ⏰It's time to push back against this bandwagon & rebalance the roles of public & private finance in Sevilla. Read why: English 👉 ow.ly/NivS50WaPE7 Deutsch 👉https://ow.ly/82Q750WaPF6

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce this new project: a website dedicated to research and data on imperialism and inequality. You're going to love this... globalinequality.org

The #EU and #UK are stopping the global south from having a say by blocking UN-led #debt reform in #FfD4 outcome document. 👎 Our press release: www.eurodad.org/eu_and_uk_bl...

At the EC hearing on Savings & Investment Union (SIU), the Poland presidency argued in favour of more simplification, integration in "a balanced way". But no clarification how the savings from the "reporting burden" will not go to the shareholders in billions in dividends & share-buybacks"

Do not want to link but... there are some reasons to think they chatgpt'ed the tariffs. x.com/krishnanrohi...

This is incredible. The "reciprocal tariffs" were calculated without actually looking at anything to do with tariffs. This is the most amateur-hour crap you can imagine and it's going to straight tank the global economy.

Trump dangerously falsifies how trade agreements benefit US corp interests by global protection of intellectual property rights & investments (benefits bigtech), openess to US services & cheap imports of consumer goods, with no labour & food security & environment protection: much more than #Tariffs

🔍At the ERIN conference we’re tackling the shrinking space for #shareholder rights with @mvdstichele.bsky.social @betterfinance.bsky.social Kritsche Aktionare, Winson Sonsini With new challenges arising, we’re identifying barriers & opportunities to ensure investors can support the EU transition 💪

Just to specify: the #CleanIndustrialDeal argues that per year an additional ca. EUR 480bn is needed for EU investments in "energy, industrial innovation & scaling up the transport system" (supposed to support decarbonisation) --> just stop annual corporate pay-outs of ca. $ 416 bn/EUR 403 bn

The #CleanIndustrialDeal claims to mobilise more state aid (your money), EUR 100 bn by a new Industrial Decarbonisation Bank + EUR 50 bn easier derisking via InvestEU, etc. Big Eur. companies should spent on transition and not on dividends $305.8 bn (+18.1%) and $ 110.6 bn in share buybacks (2023).

The EC #CleanIndustrialDeal proposal is full of derisking of private companies & investors, but no conditions mentioned on how much to reduce emissions and use of energy & materials, how labour & consumers benefit, and especially, how subsdies & profits will not be transferred to shareholders.

Big Tech is the largest lobby spender in the EU, new research shows. 📈 Tech firms have increased their spending with 57 per cent since 2020. They now spend €67 million on lobbying. Big Tech is using its endless resources to attack the EU's digital regulation. corporateeurope.org/en/2025/02/e...

EU law allows shareholders to vote for high pay-outs in dividends & share buybacks at the expense of a swift transition by companies. EC policies to deregulate & de-risk will not stop this financial extraction but only regulating companies & large institutional shareholders will tinyurl.com/yc4nupu6

Companies say CSDDD is a financial burden... 

is it really? 🧐 We analysed 900+ CSDDD companies and found:

 📈 soaring profits 
📈 booming shareholder payouts 

Implementing CSDDD would only cost these companies 0.13% of what they paid shareholders in 2023.
