About
Rainforest Action Network (RAN), an international organization with twenty-five years of success transforming the environmental and social policies of America’s most powerful corporations, is spearheading a new campaign to Change Chevron. Chevron’s operations in the U.S. and around the world are putting the health of communities and our planet at great risk.
Rainforest Action Network has joined the global efforts of our allies at Amazon Watch and the Frente de Defensa de la Amazonía who are pressuring Chevron to clean up the toxic legacy they’re responsible for in Ecuador. We’re calling on Chevron to adopt a global policy that protects people, the climate and our environment. The campaign unites communities, investors, shareholders, religious leaders, celebrities, students, policy makers and Chevron employees to transform the oil giant.
Dubbed “some of the most savvy environmental agitators in the business” by the Wall Street Journal, RAN uses hard-hitting markets campaigns to align the policies of multinational corporations with widespread public support for environmental protection. We believe that logging ancient forest for copy paper or destroying communities and ecosystems for a week’s worth of oil is not just destructive, but outdated and unnecessary.
Our corporate campaigns seek to push companies to balance profits with principle, to show that it is indeed possible to do well by doing good. We publicly applaud and support political and corporate leaders who show strong leadership and innovation in advancing sustainability. Sadly, many companies require more motivation. Our campaigns leverage public opinion and consumer pressure to turn the public stigma of environmental destruction into a business nightmare for any American company that refuses to adopt responsible environmental practices. But much more needs to be done. For our society to truly break its oil addictions, protect endangered forests, and promote human rights and sustainable finance, everyone must get involved. Will you join us?
