Chevron AGM 2008 Action

May 2008 | Thomas Cavanagh | Photo Gallery

In a dramatic face-to-face showdown at Chevron’s annual general meeting, victims of the company’s grave human rights abuses from three continents today told shareholders and senior executives that the oil major must live up to its corporate rhetoric on human rights and the environment, and also take decisive action to make amends to the communities it has devastated.

Community representatives from Burma, Ecuador and Nigeria traveled for days to participate in the meeting as proxy shareholders, calling on Chevron CEO David O’Reilly to stop hiding behind lawyers and PR misinformation, and to recognize and rectify the suffering the company has caused.
