Extractives in Eastern Europe and Central Asia

Discover the data behind our work to analyse the human rights policies and performance of 30 extractives companies in Armenia, Georgia, and Kazakhstan, which has catalogued hazardous working conditions, labour rights abuses, effects on the health of local communities, and severe environmental impacts.

Extractives projects, such as mines and oil fields, are one of the main sources of human rights abuses in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, with hazardous working conditions, labour rights abuses, effects on the health of local communities, and severe environmental impacts. Human rights impacts linked to business activities often go unaddressed and unremedied, leaving affected communities without access to justice.

Despite such serious allegations, Western companies and financial institutions have invested significantly in extractives projects in the name of development, and continue to do so.

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre has sought to illuminate these issues by analysing the human rights policies and performance of 30 extractives companies in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. In doing so, we aim to draw attention to the major human rights risks and impacts within the region, as well as address the lack of information around business activities. While our findings focus in on the top 10 extractives companies in Armenia, Georgia, and Kazakhstan, we believe this research is indicative of broader trends in these countries, as well as the region as a whole.
