A Canadian company owned by Brookfield is among the multinationals whose colonial, exploitative practices are named in this important new report. A just energy transition must center human rights, climate justice, and corporate accountability.

Brazilian courts are pushing back on Canadian mining in the Amazon. Two rulings strengthened Indigenous resistance, calling out sham “consultations” & blocking agencies from defending corporate interests. From Mura territory to the Xingu, communities are asserting their right to decide. Read more:

Nous travaillons avec des communautés dont les droits ont été violés par des compagnies minières canadiennes opérant à l'étranger. Les plaintes portées par des membres de ces communautés stagnent maintenant dans un vide administratif parce qu’il n’y a pas d’ombudsman.

We work with communities in Latin American, Africa and Asia-Pacific whose rights have been violated by Canadian mining companies. Some of these communities have filed complaints that are languishing in limbo because there is no Ombudsperson. The need for an independent, empowered CORE is clear.

Dès aujourd’hui, le poste d’Ombudsman canadien de la responsabilité des entreprises demeure vacant depuis un an. Sans ombudsman, le bureau ne peut pas traiter les plaintes. Les personnes ayant subi des préjudices sont laissées dans l’incertitude. cnca-rcrce.ca/fr/2026/05/2...

Today marks one year since the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise was left leaderless and unable to move complaints forward. Directly-impacted communities and workers still haven't received answers to requests for even basic information. cnca-rcrce.ca/2026/05/21/f...

A year ago, the Xinka Indigenous people of Guatemala denied consent for the reopening of Canadian company Pan-American Silver's Escobal mine. Now, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May has formally tabled a petition in parliament demanding their decision be respected! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhrI...

Les mécanismes visant à enquêter sur les atteintes aux droits de la personne ont été laissés sans soutien. Le gouvernement canadien a laissé le poste d’ombudsman vacant, ce qui signifie que le Bureau ne peut pas traiter les plaintes et ne dispose pas de l’indépendance ni des moyens nécessaires

Please read this important new report documenting the highest number of attacks against human rights defenders in the past five years. 30 of the attacks recorded in 2025 are connected to Canadian companies.

“Discussions about forced labour tend to focus on global supply chains in the Global South... But the use of forced or prison labour in the U.S... receives far less attention, especially here in Canada” IHRP Director, Sandra Wisner, tells the The Canadian Press: www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

"As two of the biggest players in the global mining industry, Canada and Australia have a vital role to play to ensure the energy transition doesn’t trample over the rights and the lives of Indigenous Peoples around the world," says Ketty Nivyabandi, Secretary General, AI Canada.

En matière de reddition de comptes des entreprises à l’étranger, le Canada accuse un retard par rapport aux normes internationales, aux initiatives des juridictions les plus avancées et aux propositions de la société civile. Consultez notre nouvelle rapport: cnca-rcrce.ca/fr/2026/04/2...

Les entreprises canadiennes sont liées à l’effondrement du Rana Plaza, une tragédie évitable qui a coûté la vie à plus de 1100 travailleur-euses. 13 ans plus tard, le Canada demeure complice d’atteintes aux droits humains dans le monde. @oxfamcanada.bsky.social cnca-rcrce.ca/fr/2026/04/2...

Canadian companies are linked to the Rana Plaza building collapse, a preventable tragedy that killed over 1100 workers. 13 years later, Canada continues to fail impacted people. Our companies remain complicit in human rights abuses worldwide. @oxfamcanada.bsky.social cnca-rcrce.ca/2026/04/24/f...

The Rana plaza tragedy must not happen again. Companies and suppliers must be held accountable for human rights abuses. Workers must have the right to freedom of association. Workers’ rights are human rights.

The collapse of Rana Plaza 13 years ago revealed a system where fast fashion was prioritized over safe working conditions. Canada must take action & ensure that Canadian companies respect human rights in their supply chain. Read our blog: www.oxfam.ca/story/from-r... @cnca-rcrce.bsky.social
