 Report `Banksecrets` (English)
(€ 2,5)Description:Businesses drive the economy, they provide work, build projects with people and spread wealth... Unfortunately, that is only one side of the coin, as all over the world people also suffer on account of business projects. That is because some businesses refuse point blank to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. It seems as if some businesses are blinded by their desire for more and yet more profit. When private interests prevail, and particularly when large sums of money are involved, even the most humane relexes can be completely lost. The aim of this report is to list the well-documented bad practices of 13 companies and to shed light on the banking groups that finance these companies. It would appear that as many as 121 banking groups are involved in the financing of these enterprises. |

 Annual Report `Netwerk in 2006` (Dutch)
(FREE)Description:2005 was in vele opzichten een bewogen jaar. De campagne ‘Mijn Geld. Goed Geweten?’ stond dit jaar in het teken van financiering mensenrechtenschendingen en bereikte mede via de tv-spot, een ruim publiek. Ook het onderzoeksrapport ‘Waar ligt de grens?’ kreeg veel persaandacht. De vernieuwende aanpak van de campagne, de opmerkelijke resultaten ervan en de inspanningen rondom internationaal netwerken leidden tot een uitstraling die ruimer reikt dan alleen Vlaanderen. Bovendien boekte Netwerk succes rondom de campagne tegen financiering van wapenindustrie: KBC, Dexia, ING en Fortis namen een strenger wapenfinancieringsbeleid aan. |

 Mini-report `Explosive Investments` (English)
(€ 1,00)Description:Netwerk Vlaanderen researched on the financing of six cluster munition producers. Sixty-eight financial groups have been found to play a role in the financing of these companies. The report contains information on banks from Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, UK and USA. Together they fuelled billions of dollars in these six producers. The financial world seems to be blindly investing in morbid civilian-killers like cluster munitions. Since more than 40 countries have expressed their will to have an international treaty banning cluster munitions by 2008, the time is right to include a ban on investments in this treaty. |

 Report 'Explosive Portfolios' (English)
(€ 1,00)Description:Since the spring of 2006, Belgium is the first land to introduce a ban on cluster munitions. Despite this, the bank groups AXA, Dexia, Fortis and ING invest in cluster munitions. This has been revealed today in a new report ‘Explosive portfolios’ published by Netwerk Vlaanderen. Although pressure from the campaign ‘My Money. Clear Conscience?’ forced four bank groups to announce their withdraw from investments in cluster munitions, it is apparent that only KBC has completely ended its investments |

Report `Explosieve Portefeuilles` (Dutch)
(€ 1,00)Description:Sinds het voorjaar van 2006 is België het eerste land met een verbod op clustermunitie. Ondertussen blijven de bankgroepen AXA, Dexia, Fortis en ING investeren in clustermunitie. Nadat in 2005 onder druk van de campagne ‘Mijn Geld. Goed Geweten?’ vier grote bankgroepen beslisten hun investeringen in clustermunitie terug te schroeven, blijkt dat enkel KBC haar investeringen volledig stopzette. Netwerk legt de aanhoudende investeringen in clustermunitie bloot (meer dan 6 miljard US dollar) en roept de overheid op initiatief te nemen. |
