Business and the environment

Basel Action Network (BAN)


BAN focuses on confronting the excesses of unbridled free trade in the form of “Toxic Trade” (trade in toxic wastes, toxic products and toxic technologies) and its devastating impact on global environmental justice. Working at the nexus of human rights and environment, they confront the issues of environmental justice at a macro level, preventing disproportionate dumping of the world's toxic waste and pollution on our global village's poorest residents. Further, they promote sustainable and just solutions to our consumption and waste crises.

The website offers backgrond material on the Basel Convention and information about campaigns.
