Mission statement:
The Berne Declaration is a Swiss non-governmental organization, with 16,000 members. Through research, public education and advocacy work, it has promoted more equitable, sustainable and democratic North-South relations since 1968. The Berne Declaration monitors the role of Swiss corporations, banks and government agencies. It addresses the problems of unequal international trade and financial relations, unsustainable consumption patterns and cultural prejudices. It calls on all Swiss actors - the private sector and the state, citizens and consumers - to assume their responsibility in resolving these problems. The Berne Declaration is completely independent, and derives most of its revenues from individual membership fees and donations.
