Heartland is a proud partner of the Private Capital & Tech Accountability Working Group, which was launched in 2022 with the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, BSR, Empower, LLC, Investor Alliance for Human Rights, and Open MIC.

In a new ImpactPHL Perspectives post, Anita Dorett, Audrey Mocle, and Kindra Mohr explain how the Working Group was formed and what it aims to achieve.

Heartland is particularly focused on the intersection of private capital, emerging technologies, and armed conflict.
