SUMMARY:ACE's Future - what next?
DESCRIPTION:What next for ACE? We are currently looking at the future of ACE: what we want to do in the next six months and who can take us forward beyond March next year. Some members of the steering group\, including our co-ordinator\, Sarah Wiltshire\, will be standing down in February 2026 and we would like to invite new people to get involved to take ACE forward into the new financial year 2026/07 and beyond.\n\n\nPlanet Over Profit campaign\n\n\nWe are linking up with Friends of the Earth\, as one of their local action groups\, so come along to support this campaign by signing pledge cards. \nWhy this campaign? UK companies are profiting from supply chains that destroy precious forests worldwide\, threaten wildlife\, accelerate climate change\, and violate the rights of local communities. \nThe everyday products we buy in the UK – from furniture to food – often have a hidden cost. Whether it’s timber for furniture\, soy for animal feed\, or palm oil in processed foods\, we’re often unknowingly buying products with devastating environmental and human impacts across the globe. \nPrecious forests around the world are being destroyed at an alarming rate. From the Amazon to Southeast Asia\, UK companies profit from global supply chains that drive this destruction\, threatening iconic wildlife like orangutans and jaguars while accelerating climate change. \nIndigenous communities and local people around the world are having their land stolen\, their homes destroyed\, livelihoods disrupted\, and their rights violated. And all the while\, UK companies have no legal liability for the destruction caused by their own supply chains. Extractive industries are wreaking wildlife habitats and threatening people’s lives and livelihoods. \n83% of the British public support new laws to stop environmental abuses in supply chains. But we need the UK government to act. \nThe Labour government has committed to  “assess the best ways to prevent environmental harms\, modern slavery and human and labour rights abuses in both private and public sector supply chains including effective due diligence rules”. Now is our opportunity to hold them to that commitment. \nThe Planet Over Profit campaign aims to: \n\nBuild public and political support for a new law.​\nExpose UK corporate links to deforestation\, environmental harm and human rights abuses.\nSupport partners in the global south and impacted communities to achieve their campaigning goals.\n\nFoE are campaigning for a Business\, Human Rights\, and Environment Act with the Corporate Justice Coalition\,  as part of a larger alliance of human rights and environmental justice organisations and trade unions and you can be part of this by signing a pledge card. \n\nBee hotels\n\nFollowing a citizen science project looking at the success of bee hotels\, there will be information available to take away to make your own.\n  \nRecycling \nBoxes will be available for you to recycle your blister packs and old toothbrushes/clean toothpaste tubes. \n  \nFairtrade refreshments will be available throughout the morning. \nThis is a free event. All welcome. We look forward to seeing you there.
