RAID promotes respect for human rights and responsible conduct by companies abroad. RAID works to ensure that companies that perpetrate human rights abuses, cause environmental harm or engage in corruption or financial impropriety are held to account. Working closely with affected communities, RAID seeks redress through complaints mechanisms and legal actions throughout the world, as well as advising governments, companies and international institutions on good practice.
