Corporate Hall of Shame/Corporate Hall of Shame

Corporate Hall of Shame

The Supreme Court has declared that corporations are people. Well, if some of these corporations were people, they'd be in jail. Each year, we ask you to vote for the worst of worst and induct the "winner" into our Corporate Hall of Shame. Then, we partner with allies to mobilize grassroots pressure and turn up the heat on corporations that corrupt the political process and abuse human rights, the environment and our public health.

Corporate Hall of Shame

Monsanto 2012 Winner

Monsanto wins the 2012 corporate hall of shame

For mass producing toxic chemicals, aggressively running small farms out of business, and recklessly promoting genetically engineered seeds that exacerbate food scarcity globally - again. Last year, Monsanto lobbyists attached riders to the Farm Bill and other legislation to prevent its GMO products from being regulated. Now, the corporation wants full immunity from any federal laws that are placed on genetically modified crops while communities wait for results from environmental impact studies. Take Action.

Koch Industries

For spending over $50 million to fund climate change denial and influencing the Supreme Court's decision to allow unlimited corporate dollars to flow into federal elections. Take Action

Chevron 2010 Runner-up

For dumping more than 18.5 billion gallons of highly toxic chemicals into the Ecuadorean Amazon, causing widespread disease and illness – and for refusing to clean-up its mess or compensate the victims.Take Action
