Overview

Ekō is a global nonprofit that mobilizes consumers, investors, and workers to hold corporations accountable for ESG-related issues. It runs rapid online campaigns addressing climate change, workers’ rights, human rights, discrimination, and corporate corruption. Using digital platforms, Ekō organizes and communicates campaigns, often amplifying the work of other corporate accountability groups, and engages its large network to pressure companies through actions like petitions, social media advocacy, and coordinated campaigns. The organization is funded mainly by small donations from its members (about 85%), with additional support from foundations such as the Tides Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. With staff in several countries and a worldwide member base, Ekō aims to influence corporate behavior toward environmental protection, fair labor, and social justice, aligning business practices with environmental, social, and governance goals.
