🤑 We pay. You pay. Palantir doesn’t.

A new report finds that #Palantir is paying little to no corporate tax in Europe while expanding its influence over public services, policing, defence and national security.

💲 Public money in. Almost no tax out.

📢 Today in @ftm.eu: the EU Public Prosecutor’s Office reviewed the accusations against EU-funded NGOs.

Verdict: no grounds for a criminal investigation.

Turns out a campaign built on ideology doesn't hold up when someone actually checks the facts.

Great to partner with the @eccjorg.bsky.social to explore how the EU’s UTP Directive and CSDDD can work together to tackle unfair purchasing practices, strengthen due diligence and build more resilient supply chains.

"Instead of an actual plan(...), they’ve issued this desperate plea asking landowners to voluntarily protect nature."

🙅Decades of voluntary measures have neither stopped the destruction of #biodiversity nor have they prevented the heatwaves suffocating Europe right now. We must stop asking nicely.

What makes companies change their behavior on sustainability? 🤔

A new @nature.com Communications study tracking 600 EU companies over a decade (2.9M data points) offers telling clues: progress only happens where regulation forces it.

Voluntary action has limits.

If there were an award for shameless audacity, it could go to French oil and gas giant TotalEnergies, now using its own web pages to share tips on how to “protect yourself” from the heatwave.

New data from @milieudefensie.bsky.social & ActionAid Nederland shows Dutch banks poured $11.5B into transition mining linked to human rights & envi abuses.

All eyes on Paris next week for some upcoming duty of vigilance news!

The decision in the climate case against TotalEnergies is approaching.

The judges could force the company to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions across all its activities to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

💸 €382 million. The price tag of corporate influence over EU law.

BDI & BusinessEurope led the charge to gut the #CSDDD & top the lobby league too, along with Big Tech, banking & chemicals.

The more a sector stands to be held accountable, the more it spends to avoid it. #Omnibus #CorporateJustice
Yesterday we launched our EU Corporate Lobby League 2026 with @lobbycontrol.bsky.social

173 companies & trade associations which declare €1 million+ in EU lobby register:

➡️ Collectively spend €382 million annually on EU lobbying
➡️ That’s 50% more than in 2020
