About Furqan

Furqan derives from ‘the distinction between truth and falsehood’ in Arabic. Our platform helps you uncover the truth about companies and their involvement in occupation, apartheid and genocide.

A source-linked record of corporate complicity

Furqan is a corporate accountability platform that tracks and documents the involvement of companies in the conflicts in Palestine and Sudan. We maintain a database drawing on established investigative and human rights research to build a comprehensive, source-linked record of corporate complicity.

Our work is grounded in public investigations. Furqan relies primarily on documented reports from recognised research organisations tracking corporate activity connected to the Israeli occupation and settlement enterprise.

Grounded in public investigations

Furqan relies primarily on established investigative and human-rights research organisations. These sources publish documented reports on corporate activity connected to the Israeli occupation and settlement enterprise.

AFSC Investigate+

Database of companies enabling the occupation.

UN Database+

Database of businesses involved in Israel's illegal settlement enterprise.

Who Profits+

Database of corporations profiting from the ongoing Israeli occupation.

Don't Buy Into Occupation+

List of businesses involved in the illegal Israeli settlement enterprise in the OPT in which European financial institutions have investments.

These organisations provide publicly accessible documentation, investigative reporting, and source citations that allow users to verify the information independently. Furqan aggregates these findings into a searchable format so individuals can more easily evaluate documented involvement.

UN Flags and What They Mean

Some companies in our database are flagged based on their appearance in official UN documentation. These flags carry distinct legal and investigative weight.

UN Settlement DB

This company appears in the official UN Human Rights Council database of businesses involved in Israeli settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory. The listing reflects a formal review by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), which found reasonable grounds to believe the company is involved in one or more of ten specific settlement-related activities.

UN SR Report 2025

This company is named in a 2025 investigative report by the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory. The report alleges involvement in sustaining Israel’s occupation, apartheid, or military campaign in Gaza. This is investigative reportage based on submissions from 200+ sources.

UN Dual-Flagged

This company appears in both the official UN OHCHR settlement database and a 2025 UN Special Rapporteur investigative report. The combination of a formal institutional listing and an investigative finding represents the strongest level of UN-level documentation currently available.

AI-assisted research with human oversight

Alongside these foundational sources, Furqan operates a live news feed that surfaces ongoing reporting from trusted outlets. Each week, an AI-assisted research agent scans for new articles on a curated watchlist of companies, identifying military contracts, technology provision, financial ties, lobbying activity and supply chain connections. Every article is reviewed and verified by our editorial team before publication. Nothing reaches the platform without human oversight.

Built for traceability

Furqan prioritises transparency and traceability. Each company entry includes a short description of documented activity, a classification category, and links to original sources. Users are encouraged to review cited sources directly and form their own conclusions based on available evidence.

Furqan is an information and transparency tool, not a legal authority. The platform aggregates publicly documented research so individuals can better understand corporate activity connected to human-rights issues.
