This fall, ORCIE joined the Canadian Network for Corporate Accountability (CNCA)—a national coalition advocating for laws that hold Canadian companies accountable for their global human rights and environmental impacts.
Corporate accountability is deeply connected to ORCIE’s ongoing work on climate justice, reconciliation, and legislative advocacy. Many of our member congregations have long supported due diligence campaigns through partners such as Development and Peace and KAIROS, challenging the social license that allows corporations to operate without rules or regard for people and the planet.
This week, CNCA members and allies are raising awareness with a banner in The Hill Times—Canada’s most-read publication among parliamentarians and civil servants—running from October 26 to 31. The banner links to more information about the campaign on CNCA’s website: https://cnca-rcrce.ca/2025/10/22/why-is-CORE-vacant
ORCIE joined Development & Peace “Rally to End Corporate Abuse”
On September 26, ORCIE staff and an Executive member joined hundreds gathered on Parliament Hill to call for strong Corporate Due Diligence Legislation. Standing alongside faith-based and civil society partners, they raised their voices for communities affected by Canadian corporate practices around the world. ORCIE’s presence reflected our ongoing commitment to accountability, justice, and solidarity with partners in the Global South.
