Exposing Maersk’s Role in Genocide: Ekō members helped force a breakthrough in corporate accountability by pushing Maersk to stop shipping goods to illegal Israeli settlements. The UN had named the company in an expert report on the “economy of genocide,” and Ekō members amplified the pressure: filing a hard-hitting shareholder resolution, sending thousands of emails, and funding bold ads during Maersk’s AGM, making it impossible for Maersk to hide its role in genocide.

Challenging EU Leadership on Palestine: As public outrage grew over the EU’s failure to act on Gaza, Ekō members mobilised at lightning speed. Working closely with MEP Manon Aubry, we drove thousands of calls into MEPs’ offices in under 48 hours, urging them to support a no-confidence motion against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. 72 MEPs signed on, enough to formally submit the motion. While it ultimately failed to pass, it showed von der Leyen how close she is to getting sacked for her corruption and loyalty to war criminals. And forced her to propose, for the first time, the suspension of the EU-Israel trade deal.

Forcing AXA to Divest: After six years of sustained campaigning, Ekō members helped win a monumental victory: AXA fully divested from weapons manufacturers supplying Israel’s assault on Gaza. And Ekō's campaign report on AXA was featured in the new UN special rapporteur's report. This is one of the largest financial wins in the fight for accountability, made possible by persistence and people power.
