SOMO is a non-profit organization based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, operating within the civic and social sector. It conducts independent investigations into multinationals to illuminate their impacts, internal structures, and the systems that enable them. The organization develops alternatives and carries out advocacy work, aiming to ensure that public interests prevail over corporate interests. It describes itself as part of a global civil-society ecosystem, collaborating closely with partners around the world to address power imbalances in corporate influence. The group serves a global audience concerned with corporate accountability, human rights, and responsible business conduct. In April 2026, SOMO supported a lawsuit brought by the Clean Clothes Campaign against Levi Strauss Nederland B.V. and Levi Strauss & Co Europe BV, asserting that the company used misleading labour-condition claims in advertising to Dutch consumers. This reflects its practice of using research and advocacy to fuel changes in how multinationals operate.
