Corporate Accountability Lab brings together design thinking, human rights expertise, and hard work to fight corporate impunity.

With a multidisciplinary team grounded in expertise across labor rights, human rights, and environmental law, CAL is united by a single, powerful mission: to hold corporations legally accountable when their actions harm people and the planet. We believe that justice for workers, communities, and ecosystems is inseparable—and that meaningful change requires confronting corporate abuse through strategic, community-centered legal action.

To advance this mission, CAL focuses on three cross-cutting issue areas: climate justice, gender justice, and workers’ rights. These pillars guide our advocacy, litigation, and partnerships with affected communities around the world. While our projects continually evolve to meet emerging challenges and reflect realities on the ground, every initiative we pursue is rooted in these principles. Whether we’re supporting women workers facing systemic discrimination, challenging corporate pollution that threatens life on this planet, or defending the rights of those exploited in global supply chains, CAL’s work is driven by the pursuit of accountability, equity, and lasting justice.

Within these core issue areas, CAL focuses on four primary strategic outcomes:

• Achieving access to remedy

• Building worker and community power to challenge corporate abuse

• Strengthening our role as a convener and legal design lab

• Confronting the corporate-driven climate crisis
