    European Coalition for Corporate Justice   (ECCJ)

    EU Transparency Register

    48872621093-60 First registered on 06 Feb 2009

    Goals / Remit

    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.

    Main EU files targeted

    Since the Commission published its proposal on February 2022, ECCJ work has focused mainly on the Proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD).

    ECCJ also works on:

    Proposal for a regulation on prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market, COM(2022) 453

    Proposal for a Directive as regards corporate sustainability reporting COM(2021) 189 final

    Proposal for a Regulation on deforestation-free products, COM(2021) 706 final

    Directive (EU) 2019/633 on unfair trading practices in business-to-business relationships in the agricultural and food supply chain

    Provisional agreement on EU-wide rules for the protection of collective interest of consumers

    EU action against abusive litigation (SLAPP) targeting journalists and rights defenders

    Proposal for a regulation concerning batteries and waste batteries, repealing Directive 2006/66/EC and amending Regulation (EU) No 2019/1020

    EU action plan on human rights and democracy

    Initiative on the Revision of the Union Customs Code

    Generally, ECCJ targets policy instruments that relate to corporate accountability, access to justice and corporate transparency.
