We want justice for those disproportionately affected by the climate crisis: people in the global south, indigenous communities and communities of colour, women and younger generations. We want corporations to respect the planet and human rights, governments to protect and listen to their citizens, and the online world to be free from misinformation and hate.
When founded in 1993, we were pioneers in seeing the link between natural resources, conflict and corruption. For over 25 years, we have investigated and exposed environmental and human rights abuses in the oil, gas, mining, and timber sectors, and tracked ill-gotten money and influence through the global financial and political system.
Today, we continue to focus on abusive actors, misuse of power and financial flows, but have turned our focus on some of the most urgent issues facing humanity: the climate emergency and attacks on civic space.
Our campaigns
We work to hold companies and governments to account for their destruction of the environment, their disregard for the planet and their failure to protect human rights via campaigns to:
- curb the flow of finance enabling destruction of climate-critical tropical forests
- challenge industry efforts to present fossil gas as climate-friendly
- end corporate complicity in environmental and human rights abuses
- protect land and environmental defenders standing up to climate-wrecking industries
- tackle the spread of division, hate and disinformation on digital platforms
- end corporate corruption and ensure companies in the natural resource sector can no longer operate above the law
