An increasing number of multinational companies headquartered in the UK, are aiming to save money by locating factories in countries with more lax environmental regulations, enabling them to pollute more heavily than would be permitted here. This is having a detrimental impact on our planet. We're asking for the government to introduce a law penalising the companies which act in this damaging way.

Climate Change is a global problem; just because the polluting isn’t happening in the UK, that does not mean that we can't do something to stop it- the government must start taking responsibility for the actions of UK-based companies, even if they are acting outside the UK. We are fed up of our government avoiding this issue by claiming that it is not their responsibility do anything about it.

This has to change.

Our proposal is to develop a law which makes UK businesses follow UK pollution regulations everywhere, not just in the UK. This will ensure businesses find less harmful ways to operate, instead of avoiding making changes by moving somewhere else.

These companies must start facing consequences for their damaging actions, before our world is destroyed completely.
