About
About aktie.earth
aktie.earth is a secure platform for reporting environmental violations and climate harm. We give communities, insiders, and experts a safe way to submit verified reports, which we then use to drive legal action, investigative campaigns, and public advocacy—helping to hold companies, authorities, and other actors accountable.
Why it matters
Illegal deforestation, harmful land use, and soil sealing threaten ecosystems, climate resilience, and livelihoods. By collecting verified evidence, aktie.earth ensures that environmental harm is exposed, addressed, and prevented.
Our Focus Areas
Soy Supply Chains: Investigating whether companies importing or selling soy are violating EU and national due diligence laws, including the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the German Supply Chain Act. Our work focuses on soy linked to illegal deforestation in the Amazon, Cerrado, and other critical regions.
Land Use & Soil Protection: Providing a safe channel for communities, experts, and insiders to report unauthorized or harmful construction, illegal land conversion, and soil sealing across Europe. Submissions support legal enforcement, advocacy, and campaigns to protect biodiversity, fertile land, and climate resilience.
Our Approach
We collaborate with experts, investigative journalists, and trusted organizations to verify submissions, fill information gaps, and ensure alignment with legal standards. Reports are shared only with the whistleblower’s consent and transformed into actionable evidence..
aktie.earth is managed by the NGO AllRise Impact, which is part of the AllRise ecosystem. Our sector-specific approach allows us to dive deep into each industry, building new partnerships and delivering outcomes that safeguard ecosystems and enforce laws.
Our Partners
At aktie.earth, collaboration is key. We work with leading organisations and industry experts, both in specific environmental issues and in the areas of data protection and whistleblowing. Our partners are committed to working together to collect reliable, actionable evidence of environmental violations to hold those responsible accountable and drive meaningful change.
The idea for aktie.earth originated from the AllRise Incubator, a company within the AllRise ecosystem that develops products and services to enable or support climate litigation. The NGO AllRise Impact operates the aktie.earth platform, drawing on the strategic and operational expertise of the AllRise Incubator, which also provides legal advice and personnel support.
The Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH), renowned for its pioneering work in environmental protection and its role as a litigation-eligible consumer protection association, collaborates with aktie.earth and partners to uncover industry-specific violations. Together with DUH, aktie.earth is launching its first initiative in the soy sector, focusing on illegal deforestation and non-compliant soy imports to Germany.
The Germany-based Bees and Trees Foundation generously contributed funding for aktie.earth, laying the foundation for the development of the platform and enabling the launch of the first project in the soy sector. Working closely with Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) they have also brought a spotlight to climate litigation by producing engaging content on the topic. Their support strengthens our shared mission to drive impactful legal actions.
The Germany-based Whistleblower Netzwerk (WBN) is a key partner at aktie.earth. With its experienced team, WBN can offer whistleblowers competent legal and personal advice. This enables whistleblowers to pass on information safely, which in return enables environmental crime and greenwashing to be uncovered and combated.
Since its foundation in 2007, Earthsight has tackled a wide range of issues, from electronic waste smuggling to conflict timber, and from sweatshops to the illegal palm oil trade. The results of Earthsight’s research, identifying abuses and tracking the associated products to their end markets, have received high-profile attention in the media and among policy-makers, and have led to changes in the policies of governments, corporations and financial institutions.
Repórter Brasil was founded in 2001 by journalists and social scientists and focuses on the violation of fundamental human rights. Its reports, journalistic investigations, research, and educational methodologies are used by leaders from the public sector, business community, and civil society as tools in the fight against modern slavery—a problem that affects thousands of people.
