In solidarity with Gaza
SOMO, the Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations, investigates the impacts and enablers of unjustified corporate power. Independent, factual, and critical, we have a clear goal – a fair and sustainable world in which public interests outweigh corporate interests.
Since our establishment in 1973, we have been dedicated to reshaping the economic framework by restraining corporate power and championing social equity.
Headquartered in Amsterdam, we work with hundreds of organisations worldwide, acting as a knowledge, research and communications hub.
