We're in the middle of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) season, which means corporations and financial institutions – including many complicit in Amazon destruction – will gather investors to discuss key business strategies and annual performance.
Amazon Watch has historically strategized around these meetings to apply pressure and demand accountability. We've accompanied Indigenous leaders from across the Amazon to attend AGMs, partnered with socially responsible investors to draft resolutions and advocate for their adoption, and led protests outside of corporate headquarters.
Most recently, we've focused on amplifying and promoting policies calling for accountability from Chevron for its pollution in Ecuador, strict oversight of investment from Royal Bank of Canada and BlackRock in mining near or on Indigenous lands, as well as an end to fossil fuel financing and the adoption of an Indigenous rights and deforestation policy from Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Vanguard, and BlackRock.
