SOMO (Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations)
SOMO's activities and research on corporations and their international context focus on sustainable economic and social development and on the structural eradication of poverty, exploitation, and inequality. With its activities and research, SOMO wants to contribute directly or indirectly to sustainable development, and to the fight against the negative consequences of globalisation for countries from the global North as well as from the global South. All our investigations and activities are related to the corporate policies or the corporate practices of Multinational Enterprises.
