So much for being environmentally friendly.

Our whole world is dying in our hands, and we fail attempt to save it by being green. But this dosent seem like the case for Chevron and its predecessor, Texaco.

Business ethics? This company has none barely any.

First they drill for oil leaving a huge mess behind, causing the Amazonian Indians to live on top of oil sludges. The exposure to these harmful chemicals has led to an escalation in diseases being contracted by the locals.

Next, they end up in a lawsuit where their brilliant unscrupulous lawyers cleverly moved the case to Ecuador where corruption within the justice system is far from unheard of.

Damaging the environment is no longer acceptable by progressive modern societies. The main issue here is that the company used underhand methods of bribery to get away with their unjust actions. There’s at least two flaws in their so called “business ethics”. I’m sure theres many more left uncovered.
