Community-centered data channels lived experiences into a global movement for justice.

Our research is creating global knowledge networks that strengthen accountability at scale.

Over the past thirty years, more than 2,000 communities around the world have raised their voices and filed complaints to investors, demanding justice for rights abuses and environmental destruction.

Accountability Counsel has collected every single one of those complaints and compiled them into a free database, creating a powerful body of accessible data that shines light on the critical need for accountability.

The data tells countless stories – about what barriers make accountability difficult to access, what strategies work best to make voices heard, and what remedy communities have achieved. It reveals trends, gaps, and repeat offenders, and represents an unparalleled tool to embed global efforts for justice and accountability in community knowledge and experience.

By democratizing data and leveraging technology, our research puts accountability and justice within reach.

Our Accountability Toolkit grounds global advocacy in community-centered data.
