Raytheon
Raytheon is a major missile manufacturer. Founded in 1922, it makes Patriot & Tomahawk missiles, the GBU- 28, a 5,000-pound “bunker buster” bomb as well as sensors and radars used on drone aircraft. Its weapons have been used in Afghanistan, Brazil, Iraq, Pakistan, Palestine and Yemen. Multiple Saudi-led attacks on Yemeni civilians have been tied to Raytheon’s weapons. In September 2016, for instance, an airstrike killed 15 members of the same family, including 12 children. The shrapnel was later identified as belonging to Raytheon. The company’s “bunker buster” bombs were also used by the Israeli military to target the homes of Palestinian civilians in Gaza in 2014.
Repsol S.A.
Repsol is a fossil fuel exploration company that evolved from a Spanish state venture that was set up in the 1920s. It acquired oil fields and refineries in South America in the 1990s by taking advantage of the wave of privatizations of state-owned oil companies, pushed by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, notably of Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (YPF) in Argentina. Repsol-YPF has been accused of trampling on the rights of the Lonko Purran community of Mapuche people in the Cerro Bandera oil field in Argentina; as well as the Kugapakori, Machiguenga, Nahua and Yine people of the Urubamba River who are impacted by the Camisea Gas Project in Peru.
Sana Kliniken AG
Sana Kliniken, one of Germany’s largest private healthcare providers, has a long history of strikes, investigations and lawsuits. Sana has been sued, in many cases successfully, by family members of patients, who alleged medical malpractice after their family member died or suffered serious health issues following treatment in Sana facilities. Sana has faced countless criticisms and protests over being awarded privatized community hospital contracts in cities across Germany, from Düsseldorf to Ulm to Koblenz. The most evidence that privatization of health doesn’t work has been seen at Sana clinics, with the company closing essential services like delivery rooms, laboratories and psychotherapy departments once they were no longer profitable.
