Serving as an information center

Examples of the information provided by the WhoProfits information center to existing campaigns:
Veolia Environment (France) – This Company already attracted the attention of European civil society organizations because of its involvement in the Jerusalem light rail project, designed to connect settlements around Jerusalem to the city centre. The Who Profits project ascertained an additional involvement of Veolia in the Israeli occupation, and showed that it owns and operates a landfill in the occupied Jordan Valley, using captured Palestinian land resources for the needs of Israeli settlements.

Dexia (Belgium) – We found information showing the bank's economic involvement in Israeli settlements in the West Bank. This Belgium bank has recently been bailed out by the Belgium government and thus became accountable to the public. Belgian civil society organizations, such as Intal, have already initiated a campaign against what they claim is the bank's support of illegal settlements.

Unilever (Holland) – We investigated the extent of Unilever's economic involvement in the occupation following their ownership of the Beigel & Beigel factory which is located in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank.. Our research provided information to the Dutch organization, United Civilians for Peace, for their report about the company. Unilever has announced that it would sell its shares in Beigel & Beigel.
