Mapuche-Williche vs Statkraft AS

The complaint is submitted by Machi Millaray-Huichalaf and the Council of Ionkos and includes a wide range of Mapuche-Williche communities in Southern Chile.

The complainants claim that Statkraft AS has failed to observe the OECD Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct when it comes to risk-based human rights due diligence, in particular when it comes to involvement of indigenous people and land rights, environmental impact and religious traditions related to the development of three hydro-power plants in the Pilmaiquén-river in Sotuhern Chile.

The NCP has decided to accept parts of the complaint for further consideration.
