Impact stories
Fuelling Transparency in the International Energy Sector
FIND worked with the Beyond Fossil Fuels coalition to investigate Czech energy conglomerate Energetický a průmyslový holding (EPH). In 2022, EPH was the third largest greenhouse gas emitter in Europe. Since then, has transferred its coal assets to a sister company, EP Energy Transition (EPETr),as part of a restructure which it claims will make the group “fully coal-free by 2030.” However, Beyond Fossil Fuel’s recent report, Behind the Mask, draws on FIND’s research to make the case that this separation appears to be largely superficial.
Unlocking Compensation for Survivors of Modern Slavery & Labour Exploitation
FIND has been providing pro bono investigative support to Work Rights Centre, a charity that helps migrants and disadvantaged Britons access employment justice and improve their social mobility. Since earlier 2025, FIND has supported Work Rights Centre on three cases heard at the Employment Tribunal – two on behalf of survivors of modern slavery and one on behalf on an individual affected by labour exploitation through the government’s Health and Care Worker visa scheme. FIND provided information and evidence about the defendants’ asset position, notably properties owned by the defendents, in support of enforcement.
