John,
In 2022, Spanish company Repsol caused the worst environmental disaster ever in Peru by spilling over 11,000 barrels of oil.
The oil turned the beaches black and suffocated marine life in an area almost twice the size of Manhattan – killing countless precious animal species. Yet, two years later, Repsol still refutes any wrongdoing.
34,000 victims, including fishermen and restaurant owners whose livelihoods have been taken away by Repsol’s dirty spill, are now taking Repsol to court. If we all get together to hold Repsol accountable, we can force the company to clean up its mess... Are you in?
Tell Repsol: clean up your mess and finally pay for the damage you caused!
Repsol did everything to hide its dirty spill. Repsol delayed the notification of the accident and issued wrong information about the spill and its magnitude – placing its interests before protecting the health and safety of local communities and the environment.
Insider documents prove that Repsol never accounted for a potential oil spill and didn’t even have an emergency plan. It proves again that the oil giant does not care about people or the planet and is solely driven by its greed for profit.
For too long, companies from the Global North have used Latin America as its laboratory, coming to extract natural resources from which they profit and then leaving a mess for the local population to clean up. But that exploitative business practice ends here.
The power of the Ekō community has made many big companies change its harmful behaviour. When we come together, we make companies that seem untouchable pay the right price. Today, we can hold Repsol accountable for its mess!
Tell Repsol: clean up your mess and finally pay for the damage you caused!
