People think this is a past issue but it’s very much current. To see the lengths Nestlé went to to silence a whistleblower in Pakistan after he & I published evidence of their wrongdoings, watch the film Tigers, directed by Oscar-winning director Danis Tanoviç, starring Emraan Hashmi & Mariam d’Abo

It's moves like this that reveal the silver lining of US withdrawal from WHO, even amidst the damage done by this rogue state (there and elsewhere - see recent estimates of 600,000 deaths already due to USAID shutdown).

The genocide against the Palestinian people is the clearest example of an economic system rooted in colonial practices. We took to the streets in Geneva in solidarity with the Palestinian people, alongside thousands to demand an end to corporate complicity. #StopCorporateImpunity & #FreePalestine

Friends of the Earth International@foeint.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Corporate climate criminals like Chevron, Total and Shell and their financiers, continue to build their empire on Palestinian lives. In solidarity with the Palestinian people, we call on movements and people everywhere to pressure those who fuel and profit from the genocide to end their complicity.

Download the FOE report "The TNC Lobby: Foxes in the Henhouse" (linked below), which "exposes how transnational corporations like Chevron, Shell and Total convert their economic might into political power."

The #CorporateLobby gives transnational corporations a seat at the table in multilateral spaces Affected communities should be at the heart of the #BindingTreaty meant to regulate TNCs, not the corporations that threaten their lives, land and rights Read more here👇 bit.ly/48w1DiW

"The #CorporateLobby present here as 'business associations' are a threat to the treaty and to human rights. For the #BindingTreaty to become an instrument of justice, the process must be free from corporate influence, as this room should be." -Pierre Maison @viacampesina.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

"There shouldn’t be corporate influence at all at the #BindingTreaty negotiations. Transnational corporations are clearly not legitimate in decision-making processes meant to regulate them. It is a clear and absolute conflict of interest." - Juliette Renaud @amisdelaterre.org / FoE France

Shaping the knowledge structure/environment: what research questions get asked, what research is done (and how) to answer those questions, and what findings get published and where/how. All of this shapes preferences and policies that affect the public interest.

🔴 11 YEARS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. 🔴 Today at the TNC #BindingTreaty, Wesam Ahmad, International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam: After 11 years fighting for a Legally Binding Instrument to end corporate impunity, this process is being systematically sabotaged.

Corporate giants and their financiers are maintaining the occupation and genocide in Palestine. As they reap colossal profits, the rights of the Palestinian people are being trampled on. In solidarity with the Palestinian people, we demand an end to corporate complicity and impunity #FreePalestine

Really wish @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social was highlighting that Canada's military ally is apparently abandoning the rules of engagement, instead of focusing on the gender-neutral, "male-level" fitness standards part of Hegseth's speech 🙄
