I will continue fishing even though the fish are gone - Chevron pollutes fresh water in Nigeria
THE TRUE COST OF CHEVRON truecostofchevron.com
Chevron's 2008 annual report is a glossy celebration of the company's most profitable year in its history.
What Chevron's annual report does not tell its shareholders is the true cost paid for those financial returns, or the global movement gaining voice and strength against Chevron's abuses.
Thus, we, the communities and their allies who bear the consequences of Chevron's operations, have prepared an alternative annual report of Chevron entitled "The True Cost of Chevron." We will release the report at a press conference on May 26 and a day later at Chevron's Annual Shareholder Meeting in San Ramon, California on May 27.
Never before has one report brought together the information, stories, and struggles of communities from Angola, Burma, Canada, Chad, Cameroon, Ecuador, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, the Philippines and across the United States directly impacted by, and in struggle against, Chevron's operations.
