Social LobbyMap is a data-driven platform that analyses how companies and trade associations shape laws and policies.
We aim to encourage political engagement that supports human rights.
Social LobbyMap monitors corporate lobbying activities that influence human rights regulations worldwide. We analyse how companies and trade associations engage with policymakers — and what it means for supply chains, workers, and communities.
We help investors, researchers and civil society organisations follow the influence.

Behind every policy decision, there are actors shaping outcomes. Social LobbyMap reveals the role of companies and trade associations in influencing human rights policies globally. We analyse both what they say and what they do to promote or block stronger protections for workers, communities, and ecosystems.
We assess corporate lobbying using nine key indicators aligned with international frameworks like the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and ILO core labour standards. These indicators evaluate how businesses and trade associations shape human rights policies, ESG compliance, and supply chain transparency.
Our analysis currently covers 74 companies and 48 trade associations across multiple industries, focusing on sectors with significant policy influence:
As corporate lobbying activities evolve, our coverage will expand to include more industries and stakeholders.
How businesses identify, prevent, and address human rights risks.
Ensures companies remediate human rights harms and provide access to justice for victims.
Ensures companies monitor human rights risks across their value chains, including suppliers.
Measures how companies involve stakeholders in decision-making and human rights risk management.
Ensures workers have the right to form unions and engage in collective bargaining without retaliation.
Prevents forced labor, including modern slavery and human trafficking, across operations and supply chains
Ensures that child labor is prohibited and minimum age standards are enforced.
Prohibits discrimination in the workplace, promoting equal opportunity for all employees.
Ensures the protection of workers’ health and safety, minimizing risks and providing safe working conditions.
We provide actionable insights that help investors evaluate the alignment between companies’ commitments and their lobbying activities. This allows responsible investors to manage exposure to social, environmental, and governance risks, and to make informed decisions that reflect their values and fiduciary responsibilities.
Our data helps leading companies to demonstrate integrity and transparency and encourages alignment between various departments. It also helps companies track and understand their trade associations’ positions.
We empower civil society organisations, campaigners, and community advocates to hold companies accountable for their lobbying practices. By exposing who supports or undermines human rights and sustainability policies, Social LobbyMap strengthens advocacy for stronger protections and fairer policies worldwide.
