Overview of actors

Public Eye

Public Eye is a politically and financially independent Swiss organisation that campaigns for fair globalisation. We are convinced that it is possible to make the world fairer and more sustainable.

For more than 50 years, Public Eye has shed light on human rights violations perpetrated by Swiss companies abroad. It conducts investigations with tenacity and reveals cases of corruption and illegal and illegitimate business models that prejudice the populations of other countries. We do not stop by pointing out these wrongdoings; we advocate for regulations that better tackle the root causes of inequality.

Focusing on the following sustainable development goals (SDGs)

Reduced Inequalities
Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions

How we work

Through its exclusive investigations and in-depth research, Public Eye shines a spotlight on the ways that companies impact disadvantaged populations, and the indifference shown by the Swiss authorities. In our work we adhere to journalistic principles and standards. We engage in campaigns and advocacy vis-à-vis companies and political decision-makers at the national and international level. We seek dialogue, suggests concrete solutions, and works tenaciously to achieve tangible improvements.

... and why

We are convinced that it is possible to make the world fairer and more sustainable. To make it a world where all humans can live in dignity. A world where environmental limits are respected, and where the environment is preserved for the generations to come. A world free from discrimination; a peaceful and democratic world. A world in which the economy exists to serve people by guaranteeing fair working conditions and equitable salaries.
