We recently wrote to you exposing the ways that state-owned oil company Petroperú tries to deny that it is engaged in violations of Indigenous rights and destruction of the Amazon.

One of our recent blogs called out Vanguard, a major Petroperú financier, for bankrolling the company despite its disrespect for Indigenous communities’ right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent to extraction in their territories. By signing petitions, watching our videos, and reading our blogs, you helped take our message directly to the company's executives – and they heard you.

To save face, Petroperú responded with a letter attempting to clear its name and greenwash the truth – but we won’t let it get away with this. We are answering it publicly with this video because:

1. There is no such thing as “eco-friendly oil extraction.”
2. Consultation with Indigenous communities is much more than attempting to hold a single meeting with a community.
3. Petroperú cannot keep blaming “third parties” for its neglected, corroded pipes that leak and destroy Indigenous community’s water sources. It was built to spill!

Watch this video to better understand how companies cause so much harm and attempt to wiggle their way out of taking responsibility. This isn’t unique to Petroperú. The oil company is just one recent example and we must bear witness and call out its lies.

Watch and share the video!
