Every day more entities are added to the collection, as companies and other entities appear in new reports.

    • Environmental animal mistreatment, climate change, landscape impacts, local pollution, overuse of resource, waste;
    • Social child labour, employment discrimination, forced labour, freedoms, human rights, impacts on communities, local participation, health and safety, poor employment, social discrimination
