Construction & Infrastructure
Construction firms and infrastructure companies involved in settlement building and occupation infrastructure
Construction companies directly enable settlement expansion through building materials, heavy equipment, and engineering services for illegal colonisation.
- Direct involvement: Settlement infrastructure fragments Palestinian communities through roads, utilities, and systems
- UN documentation: Databases list companies involved in settlement activities for divestment campaigns
- Legal risk: International law prohibits settlement construction, creating liability exposure
- Leverage: Many institutional investors exclude companies directly involved in settlements
- Action: Support campaigns against UN-listed companies and engage local authorities on procurement
