The Berne Declaration and Greenpeace Switzerland are once again
searching far and wide for corporations that pursue profits without
regard for social and/or environmental harm. To succeed, we need your
support and the critical eye of civil society!
Whether inhumane
working conditions, reckless environmental sins, deliberate
disinformation, or the disregard for human rights by corporations: In
the run-up to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in late January 2012 in
Davos, Switzerland, the worst corporate sins will appear on the 2012 Public Eye Awards short list.
We thereby place corporate offenses in the international spotlight and
help NGO campaigns succeed. A number of firms have already felt the
considerable pressure from the unwelcome exposure in the media and the
social Web! Over 50,000 people worldwide took part in the online voting
for the People’s Award last year.
We are looking for corporations that have caused social and/or environmental damage in a well-documented case. Two awards will be given:
GLOBAL AWARD (selected by an internal expert panel)
PEOPLE’S AWARD (selected by online voting at www.publiceye.ch)
PEOPLE’S AWARD (selected by online voting at www.publiceye.ch)
Two awards, two opportunities:
Tell us who you nominate and why the company deserves one or even both
2012 Public Eye Awards. The easiest way is to send us brief answers to
the following questions, totaling no more than two A4 pages:
- What is the company? How big is it? Where are its headquarters?
- Which of its activities do you find socially or environmentally irresponsible?
- What concrete consequences do the firm’s activities have for humans and the environment?
- What is the current status of things, or of your campaign? What are the next steps?
- Where on the Internet can we find further information on the case you present?
It
pays to participate: If the corporation nominated by your NGO wins, we
will bring you to Davos in late January, where you will present your
case at our international press conference.
Send nominations to Claudio De Boni, Public Eye Coordinator: info@publiceye.ch
DEADLINE: September 30, 2011.
Thank you for your participation and for telling your colleagues!
Good luck and best regards,
François Meienberg Michael Baumgartner
