the Public Eye Awards

January 2011

Don't miss your chance to vote in the Public Eye Awards - where the nominees are the companies who have committed the most evil corporate offenses of the year. The awards ceremony takes place each year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. While business and political leaders meet in Davos the Public Eye Awards remind the corporate world that there are consequences for their misdeeds. Whether that is exploitative working conditions, environmental destruction or other acts of disregard for society.

BREAKING: Alone among scientists, Pat Michaels testified before the US Congress last year that there was no need to act against climate change.
