Chevron
From the report summary:
"This investigative report explains how in Ecuador’s rainforest Chevron engages in fraud and deceit, violates its social responsibility and corporate governance policies, devalues its global brand, and puts shareholder interests at substantial risk by covering up irresponsible and illegal activity. Below are details of how the company’s behavior in Ecuador has created a public health catastrophe that causes grave harm – even death and possibly genocide – to thousands of indigenous people and others whose survival depends on the natural habitat of the Amazon. Chevron’s policies in Ecuador have unnecessarily exposed the company to a potential multi-billion dollar civil judgment, exposed its employees to a criminal investigation in Ecuador, embroiled the company in a costly litigation with a foreign nation that is a friend of the United States, and risk constricting new investment opportunities in Latin America and elsewhere. It bears mentioning that this misbehavior stems from a major U.S. oil company that claims to adhere to the “highest ethical standards” in all business dealings."
