Objectives I & II

Objective I: To establish the accountability of economic, social or governmental institutions, especially corporations, for the consequences and effects of their activities on the environment, and on people, their health, wellbeing, cultures, and communities.

Objective II: To address these social, political, economic, environmental, cultural or health issues in an integrated way by:


  • bringing together groups—often separated by narrow issue interests and by race, religion, gender, class, ethnicity, and national origin—into crosscutting constituencies based on common economic, social, and ethical concerns; and


  • creating both the possibilities and the demand for development of more systematic solutions to these issues, as well as the social basis needed for their implementation.
