Take Action

The aim of Knowmore.org is to raise awareness of corporate abuse, and to serve as a catalyst for direct action against corporate power.

Ethical Consumerism is an important movement toward corporate reform, through which individuals recognize their own role in systems of oppression, and take personal steps toward resistance and  positive change.

However, the problem of unchecked corporate power is systemic and goes far beyond the scope of any single boycot or campaign.

Once you've seen enough of Knowmore's data and familiarized yourself with our Issues section, check out our Direct Action page to get involved!

  • Centrica rejects profiteering claims: "Centrica’s record results came less than a week after the company, already the UK’s most expensive energy supplier, announced that it would have to increase gas prices by 22 per cent. The price increase is the fourth in two years at the company, which supplies more than one in two households." [2]
  • Centrica signs Drax supply deal: "The company is trying to reduce its dependence on expensive supplies from overseas which have seen household energy bills soar in the UK." [3]
