Sherpa is an international non-governmental organization, founded in 2001. Sherpa carries out advocacy, strategic litigation, legal research and capacity building activities, in order to strengthen economic actors’ accountability and build up a legal framework that better protects the environment, communities and human rights.[1]
To implement these activities, Sherpa brings together lawyers, legal experts, academics, NGOs, local associations, and many other experts who support its action by putting forward an innovative approach to law. Sherpa has, for example, brought various claims for misleading advertising against the French retailer Auchan and the South Korean conglomerate Samsung.[2] In both cases, the NGO alleged that the companies did wrongfully claim to be ethical companies.
