Chevron Corporation-
Proclaiming that it wants to "tap human energy," Chevron, a descendent of Standard Oil, and one of the largest oil companies in the world has launched one of the slickest "greenwashed" campaigns yet seen.
This page is dedicated to the Cheveron Corporation. We hope to recognize marketing
attempts that affect the conceptual reputation of Chevron and placing those next
to actual business practices.

Chevron and Myanmar (Burma)
Chevron's Pipeline Is the Burmese Regime's Lifeline
"According to Marco Simons, U.S. legal director at EarthRights International: "Sanctions haven't worked because gas is the lifeline of the regime. Before Yadana went online, Burma's regime was facing severe shortages of currency. It's really Yadana and gas projects that kept the military regime afloat to buy arms and ammunition and pay its soldiers.""Chevron and Iraq

Chevron was one of the first companies to receive marketing contracts following the 2003 invasion of Iraq and continues to market significant quantities of Iraqi oil today. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Chevron has been refining oil from Iraq at its Richmond refinery since the war began. Rather than use its new profit bounty to upgrade this heavily polluting 106-year-old refinery, Chevron is using its financial and political prowess to try to force Richmond to accept a "retooling" of the refinery to burn dirtier, more polluting, sulphur-rich crude.
While Chevron's marketing contracts with Iraq yield the company vast profits, the big money -- and the company's big hopes for the future -- lies in controlling Iraqi oil under the ground, not just selling it overseas. As then Chevron CEO Kenneth Derr told a San Francisco audience in 1998, "Iraq possesses huge reserves of oil and gas -- reserves I'd love Chevron to have access to." Chevron has found many ways to pursue this goal, particularly following the opening provided by the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. ..
...As General John Abizaid, retired head of U.S. Central Command and military operations in Iraq, recently told a Stanford audience of the Iraq War, "Of course it's about oil, we can't really deny that."
