Relates to: Chevron and BurmaWaiting for answer; also investor relationsI tried the above and received a call back today from a woman in the Media relations dept. She said she will refer my question to the person handling the Burma issue. I am waiting for his call. Any hard answers will be posted here.Another dept to try contacting is Investor Relations, 1-925-842-5690. We should probably also pressure mutual funds like Fidelity to disinvest from Chevron. Apparently Exxon is a clean oil company that drills in democratic countries. Chevron has a press release on the subject, http://www.chevron.com/news/press/Release/?id=2007-10-02 but they sidestep a lot of issues. The bottom line is that Chevron is the one group with leverage to help the imprisoned protestors and they are choosing not to use it. If you could get those people freed by a simple action - like closing the valves temporarily to get the dictator's attention, and telling them clearly that they need to take steps to free prisoners and move towards democracy - wouldn't you do it? O'Reilly would not. |
