Since April 2024, Critical Takes on Corporate Power has been publishing ideas from across civil society about how to curb the power of multinational corporations for the sake of justice and democracy.

This briefing puts many such ideas together and argues that all of them should be seen as parts of a long-term, worldwide agenda for transforming corporate power.

The argument here is that as well as aiming to change corporate behaviour, such an agenda should aim to transform the very large corporation as an institution. The briefing poses some questions that such an agenda would need to consider.
