In solidarity with Gaza
SOMO, the Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations, investigates the impacts and enablers of unjustified corporate power. Independent, factual, and critical, we have a clear goal – a fair and sustainable world in which public interests outweigh corporate interests.
Since our establishment in 1973, we have been dedicated to reshaping the economic framework by restraining corporate power and championing social equity.
Headquartered in Amsterdam, we work with hundreds of organisations worldwide, acting as a knowledge, research and communications hub.

The Big Tech Lobby Playbook
SOMO’s ‘Big Tech Lobby Playbook’ series explores the tools and tactics of Big Tech’s global influence over law and policymaking. This series of eight articles dives into specific examples of Big Tech lobbying in Australia, Brazil, the EU, India, Kenya and the US. Each case study is designed to be read independently, but it is the cumulative picture that truly exposes the enormous political power Big Tech companies wield.
Issues we work on
Within the framework of our five-year strategy and our mission to overhaul the economy to prioritise human rights and ecological sustainability over profits, our efforts are centered around a few key critical issues.
