Click here to download a copy of the report Piping Profits
Ten of the world’s most powerful oil, gas and mining companies own 6,038 subsidiaries and over a third of them are based in secrecy jurisdictions, a new Publish What You Pay (PWYP) Norway report today reveals.
Secrecy jurisdictions facilitate illicit financial flows, to which the developing world loses US$1 trillion a year.
How country-by-country reporting by oil, gas and mining companies can help change the world
Publish What You Pay campaigns globally for rules requiring companies to disclose, country-by-country and project-by-project, how much they pay to governments in each country where they operate. We support new reporting rules being introduced in the US and EU.
The problem
Exports of oil, gas and minerals are a vital source of income to developing countries, potentially generating hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes and revenues that could be used to combat poverty and drive economic and social development.
