This database reflects an on-going grassroots investigation effort by activists in The Coalition of Women for Peace, a leading Israeli feminist peace organization, dedicated to ending the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights and reaching a just peace in Israel/ Palestine. In exposing companies and corporations involved in the occupation, we hope to promote a change in public opinion and corporate policies, leading to an end to the occupation.
Along with various political, religious and national interests, the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights is fueled by corporate interests. Israeli companies and multinational corporations lead real estate deals, develop the Israeli infrastructure and settlements in the Palestinian occupied territories and the Golan Heights, contribute to the construction and operation of an ethnic separation system, including checkpoints, walls and roads, design and supply equipment and tools used in the control and repression of the civilian population under occupation.
Currently, we focus our attention on three main areas of corporate involvement in the occupation: The Settlement Industry, Economic Exploitation and Control of Population. At this stage in our project, we are not investigating the vast industry of military production and arms trade. The information we provide on the exploitation of Palestinian labor and production is also very limited. Other organizations (Kav LaOved, Adva Center, and The Alternative Information Center) have investigated these fields of involvement in depth, and wherever necessary, we show a link to their publications.

The information we publish on this website has been collected by activists of the Coalition of Women for Peace. This is a continuous community research effort, and the published database reflects parts of our on-going investigation and work in progress. The online database, therefore, is ever-changing and incomplete, and the information published may be partial or outdated. However, we never publish any allegation without corroborating it ourselves, using public documents, the companies' own publications, or site visits. The information we share in this website is not “secret”: even if some firms try to obscure or downplay their involvement in these controversial projects, at most times the information is readily available.
We hope that this information will stimulate a candid public debate about the costs and benefits of the occupation to different parts of Israeli society, the international and local economic interests that play a role in the occupation, and how these interests influence political decision-making. We hope to serve as an information center for queries about corporate involvement in the occupation from individuals and groups working for corporate accountability, social justice and labor rights.
Despite the great efforts being put into the collection and compilation of the information on this website, it might still contain inaccuracies and errors. Please contact us with any corrections, suggestions or questions.
