How corporations attempt to shape global politics outside public view
This fact file, “Big Food’s Big Black Box: How corporations attempt to shape global politics outside of public view, SDG edition,” examines how some global food and beverage corporations use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to position themselves as a solution to the intersectional crises they are often accused of exacerbating.
