About Us 

We are an independent, global organisation of investigators and campaigners using cutting edge investigative methods. We shine a light on the financial and political systems that enable corporate abuses of power that harm people and planet.

For over 30 years, Global Witness has pioneered an approach that merges bold investigations with determined campaigning to secure better protections for people and our planet. We’ve gone undercover to unmask the violence and secretive deals that underpin the “blood diamond” industry. Our data-driven analysis has tracked the flow of commodities across the globe. And we’ve sought out powerful testimonies that tell the story of environmental harm and repression first-hand.

With three decades of campaigning for a fair and just planet under our belt, we reframed our focus in 2020 to address humanity’s greatest challenge: the climate crisis.
