• GLOBAL RESISTAAs Glencore's mining frontier expands under the banner of the energy transition and the search for critical minerals, the communities make evident that this comes at a profound cost-undermining people's health and cultures and driving the destruction of ecosystems in extraction zones.

• NCE TO GLENCOREGlencore shrouds its operations in secrecy, and for good reason: the details painstakingly brought to light by community activists and environmental justice campaigners paint a damning picture. From the bribery scandals in the DRC, the murder of anti-mining activists in the Philippines, the poisoning of water supplies in Peru, and the abuse of workers in its mines the world over, we can see that whilst Glencore's operations might be diverse, the common thread that ties them together is an exploitative business model based on crossing ethical lines in the pursuit of ever greater profits.
