In May 2016 the report "Land Grabbing and Human Rights: The Involvement of European Corporate and Financial Entities in Land Grabbing outside the European Union" was published on behalf of the European Parliament. The report examines cases of land grabbing in Zambia, Uganda, Congo and Mozambique and describes a number of possibilities for action by the EU and its Member States to reduce global land grabbing.

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre previously sought statements in relation to the following cases, which are mentioned in the report:

- Neumann Kaffee Gruppe in Uganda

- EcoEnergy in Tanzania

- Socfin in Sierra Leone

- Khon Kaen Sugar in Cambodia

- Siemens and Voith in Honduras.
