Global Exchange has compiled a list of the top ten “most wanted” corporations of 2013 based on issues like unlivable working conditions, corporate seizures of Indigenous lands, and contaminating the environment, just to name a few.
Herkales Farms is number eight on the list of this year’s top corporate criminals, due to their plans for a massive palm-oil plantation in southwest Cameroon, which would evict thousands of Indigenous Peoples from their traditional lands and raze 300 square miles of high conservation value forest, one of the oldest in Africa.
The Top Ten Corporate Criminals list is a guide to learn about what companies like Nike, Shell, Syngenta, and others you might have heard less about are doing to undermine human rights and the environment so that you can get informed and involved in combating the injustice. The more you know, the less corporations can continue to act unfavorably in the public eye. Share the list with friends, family, and co-workers. Call CEO’s themselves and network with other non-profit organizations doing work on the issue.
