Chevron’s dangerous, irresponsible practices and policies are not confined to Ecuador — or to the past

Chevron’s dangerous, irresponsible practices and policies are not confined to Ecuador — or to the past

Chevron has a long history of ravaging natural environments, violating human rights, ignoring the longstanding decisions of Indigenous communities, destroying traditional livelihoods, and converting its dollars into unjust political influence in the United States and around the world.

Chevron’s egregious corporate behavior —in locations as diverse as California, Burma, Colombia, Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, the Philippines and the U.S. Gulf Coast—has spanned decades and carries on today.

Today, Chevron’s century-old oil refinery in Richmond, California, is the state’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases.

For decades, the pollution from Chevron's Richmond refinery has caused high rates of , cancer, and heart disease in the region.

But instead of reducing pollution, Chevron has been trying to “update” the refinery to process heavier oil grades.

In other words, the company is looking to double down on its polluting ways by seeking to spew greater amounts of global warming and disease-causing gases into our atmosphere.

Around the world, over and over again, Chevron’s outdated practices and policies have consistently violate...

In Kazakhstan, Chevron has contaminated land and water resources and impaired the health of local residents.

In Canada’s Alberta region, Chevron is invested in tar sands — one of the most environmentally damaging projects on the planet.

In the Niger Delta, Chevron is complicit in human rights violations committed by security forces against local people.

In the Philippines, regular oil leaks and spills have sickened Manila residents.

Chevron’s operations in Burma are providing a financial lifeline to a Burmese military regime known for its appalling human rights record.

In Western Australia, Chevron’s liquefied natural gas facility threatens the health of local communities and fragile humpback whale and turtle populations.

From Richmond, California to Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest, communities are working to change Chevron.

But to really move one of the world’s largest and most dangerous corporations, we need an even bigger, more powerful, and more global movement.
