SOMO investigates multinationals. Independent, factual, critical and with a clear goal: a fair and sustainable world, in which public interests outweigh corporate interests. We conduct action-oriented research to expose the impact and unprecedented power of multinationals and show the underlying structures that enable them. Cooperating with hundreds of organisations around the world, we ensure that our information arrives where it has the most impact: from communities and courtrooms to civil society organisations, media and politicians.
SOMO Research
As a centre of knowledge on key issues, we drive analysis and pursue strategies aimed at social and sustainable change. We work on this in four expertise teams:
- Tax & Economic Justice
- Commodities & Sustainable Supply Chains
- Climate Justice
- Corporate Research & Special Themes
Besides, we work on Countering Corporate Strategies in the Mind the Gap project.
