WHY WE EXIST
The economics of corporate harm are backwards.
The companies causing harm are making money while people and the planet absorb the costs.
Corporations have the resources to protect their interests. Public-interest advocates often lack the capital to build and sustain strong cases.
Promising cases go underfunded. New legal strategies go unexplored. Opportunities to prevent harm and hold corporations accountable are lost.
WHEN mobilizes capital to develop and strengthen environmental litigation that impacts human health.
