“Public Eye List Chevron as the Most Irresponsible Company”- January 24, 2015

A corporate watchdog group on Friday named Chevron the most irresponsible company, but critics say there is more than just bias going on. “…[The] Berne Declaration and Greenpeace Switzerland have bestowed upon Chevron the ‘Lifetime Award’ for being the most irresponsible corporation in the ten-year era of the Public Eye Awards,” Public Eye announced in a press release. “…[It] received the largest number of…online votes, followed by Glencore and Walmart,” Public Eye noted….[that] cited the environmental incident in Northern Ecuador as a primary reason for giving the award to Chevron…A spokesperson for Chevron told the DCNF: “It is unfortunate that organizations that claim to stand for human rights and transparency are lending support to behavior that has been condemned by international human rights experts.” “This is nothing more than a stunt to distract attention from the fact that the lawsuit against Chevron in Ecuador has been proven to be meritless and the product of unprecedented fraud,” the spokesperson continued.
