We’re excited to share a new chapter for OECD Watch 🎉 Today, we’re launching our new visual identity! A big step as we move towards becoming an independent organisation later this year. Our new tagline says it clearly: Collective voices shaping accountability 🧵 👇

This week the OECD’s hosting the Critical Minerals Forum in Istanbul – bringing together stakeholders from governments, businesses, trade unions, and civil society. We’re pleased to see some of our network members joining! Read on to understand more about the OECD’s work on critical minerals 🧵

OECD Watch has joined 340+ civil society organisations worldwide in calling on governments to build a coalition to free themselves from the harmful system of investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS). Read and sign the statement yourself here: europeantradejustice.org/2026-isds-st...

🤝 Our new 5-year strategy puts stronger focus on partnerships. Why? Because corporate accountability moves further when civil society works alongside other influential actors. Over the next five years, OECD Watch will deepen collaboration with key allies. 🧵

Less regulation, more risk? The EU's Omnibus I changes to #CSDDD may weaken due diligence — but investor and ESG expectations aren't going away. 🗓 27 May | ⏰ 14:00 CET / 15:00 EET | 💻 Zoom 👉 forms.gle/EhGdEgmdJnJw7cu16 Webinar is supported by ECCJ @eccjorg.bsky.social
