Earthsight is looking for a researcher/campaigner to join our Southeast Asia and Africa team, delivering impactful research, analyses and advocacy on forest-risk commodity supply chains.
Earthsight is a London-based non-profit organisation dedicated to researching and investigating environmental and social crime and injustice. We use cutting-edge investigative methods to uncover and expose wrongdoing. Since emerging as a fully-fledged organisation in 2016, our reports have garnered headlines, won awards and triggered major changes by governments and corporations.
We seek to create positive change by influencing government policy, exposing greenwashing and raising awareness among key constituencies about the impacts of global supply chains on the world’s forests and forest communities.
Most global deforestation is driven by industrial production of a handful of major commodities, including beef, soy, palm oil and wood. A large proportion of this production is to meet demand in major international markets. Earthsight plays a key role in highlighting the complicity of corporations in the EU, UK and US in the destruction of ecosystems and human rights violations overseas. As part of global coalitions, we have succeeded in getting laws developed or passed in all these jurisdictions which aim to eliminate environmental or human rights abuses from these supply chains.
As part of a small team, you will monitor developments in Southeast Asia and Africa relating to commodity-driven deforestation, including wood, palm oil, cocoa and rubber. You will help to deliver in-depth investigations which expose large companies for sourcing products linked to horrific abuses, and trigger government action in response.
You will lead Earthsight’s monitoring of the global timber industry, and will share your findings and insights with the rest of the team, particularly in relation to the sector’s certification and traceability schemes and technologies.
