We were delighted to work with civil society to react quickly to new US proposals to reform the way that international business is taxed. Our grantees and others are moving fast to make the most of this extraordinary opportunity.
We were also very glad to support initiatives to regulate the economy so it works better for people and planet. These issues get to the heart of whether business focuses on short term gains for shareholders, or takes a more sustainable & responsible approach. They are crucial right now in the UK, as regulation is reset after Brexit.
Finally, we continued to support high potential organisations to become stronger and more sustainable.
