The Companies Bill has concluded its passage through Parliament and has been give royal assent (as the Companies Act 2006). The Trade Justice Movement has welcomed the Companies Act as a step forward towards greater corporate responsibility, but warns the new legislation has not gone far enough to ensure that British business will work for people and planet as well as profit.
