Diana Wallis MEP attended the 'Big Dress' event festival in Sheffield's Endcliffe Park on Saturday. The festival, organised by the Speak network, was part of their ongoing campaign to address injustice in global trade and the fashion industry.

Diana took part in a panel debate with academics, campaigners and theologians and spoke about what the European Parliament had been doing in terms of corporate and social responsibility. The European Parliament's resolution on corporate social responsibility can be accessed here:
