Public Eye on Davos

For other uses, see Public Eye.

The Public Eye on Davos was an annual event held every year between 2000 and 2015, as a protest or counter-event to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The project was coordinated by Swiss organizations Erklärung von Bern (EvB, renamed "Public Eye" in 2016) and Greenpeace Switzerland, and included participants associated with a variety of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The Public Eye is a platform for substantial criticism of what they describe as "purely profit-oriented globalization". The focus of the Public Eye Awards since 2005 has been on promoting their version of corporate social responsibility. In 2009, the Positive category was for the first time awarded for a courageous employee for their exemplary contributions. Public Eye on Davos issued an annual award, ironically, to companies they perceived as harmful and motivated only by profits.
