The Berne Declaration and Greenpeace Switzerland are once again on a global hunt for corporations whose social or ecological behavior stinks to high heaven. For their public naming and shaming we need relevant cases from civil society.

Whether exploitative working conditions, calculated environmental sins, intentional disinformation, or other disregard for corporate social responsibility: At the forefront of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in late January, the most evil corporate offenses will appear on the shortlist of the Public Eye Awards 2011. And those firms placed in the pillory will feel the heat: Our renowned (in)famous awards shine the international spotlight on corporate scandals and thereby help focused NGO campaigns succeed.

We are searching for well-documented cases where firms cause concrete environmental and/or social harm. This year the award categories are:

“GLOBAL AWARD” (chosen by an internal panel of experts) “PEOPLE’S AWARD” (chosen via online voting at www.publiceye.ch)

Two awards, two chances: Tell us who you nominate and why this firm merits a (or maybe even both!) Public Eye Awards 2011. The easiest way is by briefly answering the following questions:

What is the corporation? How many employees? Where are its headquarters? Which of its activities do you consider socially or ecologically irresponsible? What consequences do the firm’s activities have for people and environment? What is the current state of your campaign? What are the next steps? Where on the Internet is further information about this particular case?

Please send nominations to info(at)publiceye.ch. ENTRY DEADLINE is September 20, 2010.
