Watch: Video animation on Corporate Capture
ESCR-Net members have increasingly been using the term “corporate capture” to refer to the means by which an economic elite undermine the realization of human rights and the environment by exerting undue influence over domestic and international decision-makers and public institutions.
Over the past six years, with the leadership of a Corporate Capture Project Advisory Group,ESCR-Net’s Corporate Accountability Working group has worked to increase awareness and devise strategies to address this global trend. In 2018, members have carried out advocacy, research and communications actions, with the leadership of the Project Advisory Group, including:
- the manifestations of corporate capture, which were revised to include “shaping narratives” and “capture of academic institutions,”
- a clear advocacy position and engagement in relation to the evolving UN treaty that successfully influence the text of the zero draft,
- research on policy and legislative mechanisms to map the ways corporate capture is being addressed, and
- a video animation on corporate capture, which premiered at the Peoples’ Forum.
