HOW CHEVRON'S SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS METHODS MINIMIZES EVIDENCE OF CONTAMINATION

To avoid facing its environmental legacy in Ecuador in this litigation, Chevron has used a sampling and analytical approach that severely minimizes the extent, degree, and toxicity of the contamination that still exists in the former concession area.  In addition, Chevron is aggressively attacking the credibility and integrity of those who seek to scientifically document the negative health impacts of the failed remediation effort.  This analysis illustrates some of the many problems with the way Chevron conducted environmental science in the Ecuador trial, and the nature of the misinformation that Chevron presents. Scientists continue to monitor the technical methods used by Chevron to ensure that the company is held to account for any misuse of sound scientific practice.

Jungle Law: Politics & Power

"One of the problems with modern society is that it places more importance on things that have a price than on things that have a value. Breathing clean air, for instance, or having clean water in the rivers, or having legal rights—these are things that don't have a price but have a huge value. Oil does have a price, but its value is much less. And sometimes we make the mistake."

"The systematic way that they disposed of toxic waste in Ecuador was to dump it into open-air pits that they dug out of the jungle soil, or directly into rivers, streams and swamps in one of the most delicate ecosystems on the planet"

Does Chevron respect the law and human rights in Ecuador? You decide.  On its website Chevron pledges to “conduct business in a socially responsible and ethical manner” and “to respect the communities” where it operates.  But Chevron’s defense in the historic environmental trial in Ecuador’s rainforest (“Lago trial”) – where damages could be in the billions of dollars – can hardly be considered “ethical” or respectful of human rights.
