About us
Who we are
GLAN is an independent non-profit organisation made up of lawyers, investigators and campaigners. We pursue legal action against powerful actors involved in serious human rights violations and environmental harms, working across borders with international and local grassroots organisations.
Our committed team is spread across multiple countries and we have offices in Ireland and the UK.
Our planet, our rights, and our wellbeing are under attack. Powerful states and corporations operate across borders with impunity, destroying environments, exploiting workers, and violating people’s fundamental rights. They are protected by global systems that allow them to gain power at all costs and profit from abuse. We want to change that.
At GLAN, we use the law to challenge impunity and build a global movement to hold those in power accountable.
Our culture and values
Decolonial - We are committed to building decolonial, antiracist, and anti-oppressive approaches at GLAN.
Collective Power - We believe lasting change is built through collective action and power sharing.
Responsive - Working across interconnected global systems that are ever in flux, we aim to be adaptable, nimble and responsive to make the biggest impact we can.
Steadfast - We know the kind of change we want to see won’t happen overnight, that’s why we strongly value patience and persistence.
Self-Reflective - We recognise the power and privilege we hold as an organization. We’re committed to fostering a culture of honesty, reflection, and continuous learning, constantly examining how we work within the system and why to help us strengthen both our organisation and the movements we support work within the system
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
GLAN is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in everything we do. We value the differences that a diverse workforce brings, and we are committed to creating an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of who they are.
