John,

Europe’s demand for cheap commodities like soy and beef is scorching the planet’s rainforests. Now, Germany and France want to ditch the EU supply chain law that would have put an end to the climate-wrecking sell-off of our planet. We need to stop them!

A breaking report shows how we’ve lost primary rainforests at the rate of 18 soccer fields every minute last year, mostly through massive forest fires. We need bold action in order to stop the torching of our planet – and Europe to champion holding ruthless companies accountable for their deforestation and human rights abuses.

The EU supply chain law is a milestone in sustainability: Let’s send a global call to Germany’s newly elected chancellor Merz and France’s president Macron now. They must not give in to big corporations and their short-sighted greed for profit. Join our urgent call:

Merz & Macron: Save the EU supply chain law – protect our planet’s future!

When the EU supply chain law - officially called the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) - passed last year, it was a huge victory for human rights and environmental protection. The ground-breaking law requires corporations big and small to clean up their global, often complex supply chains and prove their products are ethically sourced. From a t-shirt made in Bangladesh to soy from Brazil, it would ensure there is no deforestation or slave labour in the products we buy every day.

But in the past months, as if to follow the global trend of dismantling environmental laws, more and more head of states have called on revisiting this law that was *years* in the making, all in the name of “less bureaucratic burden for the economy”. And now, after Italy, France and Germany are even demanding the EU commission to scrap it entirely.

The truth is: The majority of big European corporations actually support this law - from Bayer to BMW. It’s the laggards who are whining and bet on the wrong horse who are pushing the decision makers to ditch the directive.

We cannot let that happen. France and Germany are two of the strongest economies in the EU. Instead of giving in to the corporate lobby, we need them to champion protecting our planet’s future by defending this life-saving law and help Europe stay a beacon of hope for the world. Join our urgent call now: 

Merz & Macron: Save the EU supply chain law – protect our planet’s future!

Our community played a huge part in helping this law pass the EU Parliament and Commission. Together we signed petitions, sent messages to MEPs, and mobilised people to the streets. Let’s do it again, to defend this crucial law.
