2010's WORST CORPORATION



Boston-based Corporate Accountability International has just named its 2010 Hall of Shame winner.

From a field that included some of the most reprehensible corporations on the planet, 38% of the tens of thousands of people who voted opted to name food-poisoner Monsanto the worst corporation of last year and send it into the Corporate Hall of Shame.

Here's CAI's blurb from their website:

"Monsanto garnered 38% of the vote to win the 2010 Corporate Hall of Shame. From the using aggressive legal tactics to intimidate and bankrupt local farmers to its reckless promotion of genetically modified organisms, the list of Monsanto's abuses is long, and the negative impacts to human rights and the environment are staggering.

Add on a 40 year track-record of defiant production of dangerous and cancer causing chemicals – from Agent Orange and PCBs to RoundUp and rBGH – and we have ourselves a 'winner'. Electing a winner isn't enough. Thousands upon thousands agree – Monsanto must change its practices."

The runners up were BP and Chevron.

Much more info, along with very simple action you can take against these despicable entities, can be found on Corporate Accountability's 2010 Hall of Shame page.

More evidence that the majority of people are truly fed up.

Let's make the tide turn.

Take care,
Adrian Zupp
