The global minerals trade has funded abuses and armed conflict for decades. Minerals that have bankrolled social and environmental harms still end up in our mobile phones, laptops and cars.

Ill-gotten gains don’t disappear by themselves. Dictators, warlords and other criminals need ways to hide their identity and move dirty cash around the world.

Irresponsible businesses including financial institutions are driving the destruction of climate-critical tropical forests, and the communities and biodiversity that rely on them.

Land and environmental defenders play a crucial role in protecting their land - and our climate - against destructive business practices.

Big tech and social media platforms depend on a business model where profit is made from stoking up anger and fear. Despite the serious consequences, companies are subject to little scrutiny.

We are standing up to the fossil fuel industry’s efforts to present fossil gas as climate-friendly - and ensure governments transition to genuinely renewable sources of energy.

We are campaigning for a global legal framework to hold companies and those who finance them to account for their impacts on people and planet.

We have long exposed how precious minerals and other natural resources fuel conflict, prop up corrupt regimes and enrich elites, leaving a legacy of environmental destruction, human rights abuses and instability.
