Researcher / Campaigner: Timber, Sanctions and

2 weeks ago

London, United Kingdom Earthsight Full time

Full-time, with flexible hours and some homeworking considered

Earthsight is looking for a researcher/campaigner to work alongside our Boreal Forests Team
Lead delivering impactful research, analyses and advocacy on wood products supply chains.

Earthsight is a non-profit organisation dedicated to researching and investigating
environmental and social crime and injustice. We use cutting-edge investigative methods to
uncover and expose wrongdoing. Since emerging as a fully-fledged organisation in 2016, our
reports have garnered headlines, won awards and triggered major changes by governments and
corporations.

We seek to create positive change by influencing government policy, uncovering greenwash and
raising awareness among key constituencies about the impacts of global supply chains on the
world’s forests and forest communities.

Over the years Earthsight has played a leading role investigating and exposing the links
between illegal timber from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus and Western importers and retailers. We
have shone a light on how flawed certification schemes are undermining effective law
enforcement in Western markets and sought to influence internal reform at these bodies. The
Russian invasion of Ukraine has prompted new focus on uncovering how Russian and Belarussian
wood products still reach Western consumers and support these countries’ economies despite
wide-ranging Western sanctions against them.

You will play a crucial role in the Boreal Forests / Timber Team by helping drive forward
Earthsight’s efforts to clean up global wood product supply chains, including by debunking
industry spin and monitoring and analysing relevant green labels and traceability technologies.
You will support the delivery of advocacy campaigns aimed at key stakeholders to help
strengthen law enforcement and increase transparency in opaque markets. You will also help
expose how Western markets continue to fuel Russia and Belorussia’s timber sectors, including
through supply chains that are in breach of EU/US timber regulations or sanctions.

opportunities employer and is committed to ensuring careers in the charity sector are open to
all. We value difference and believe it enhances our capabilities. We therefore particularly
