Extraction operations by international oil & gas companies rely on support from a web of institutions & companies, including banks, universities, government departments and cultural institutions that provide financing & technology as well as public relations, political & legal assistance. These services enable BP & Shell to function and to extract & sell oil & gas, all of which can lead to human rights violations and increased ecological destruction. Because the oil companies are dependent on these external institutions, they provide levers for human rights defenders, ecological activists and social movements to challenge the industry’s practices. All the institutions and companies listed on this diagram have played a role in the Carbon Web since 2005 and all but a handful continue to do so.
