Behind the BarcodeMany of the products we buy today are made in the developing world. Yet the prices paid to those suppliers are often very low. The low returns keep people mired in poverty and drive suppliers to cut costs through the use of child and slave labour,violation of worker rights, and ingoring of workplace safety and sustainable use of the environment. Behind the Barcode seeks to influence Australian companies and consumers to act to change this. Learn more
Caring for CreationThe "Caring for Creation" campaign, picks up another dimension of our fight to end poverty. It recognises that if human caused climate change is happening it is the poor that will suffer the most. We are calling upon the Government to do its share in limiting climate change to no more than a 2 degrees Celsius increase, while also providing its fair share towards a climate change adaptation fund.
