#climateaction #plasticpollution #greenwash #keepcorporatesoutofCOP #CocaCola #COP27 #cop27egypt Sign and share widely to show Coca-Cola and the United Nations that they must prevent polluters from medling in urgent climate action and stop taking money to greenwash the image of major polluters. I was a delegate at COP26 and I was driven to tears by the brazen and overwhelming presence of corporate lobbyists and CEOs fighting to protect their interests at the expense of our environment and communities. Plastic packaging, from extraction of crude oil to the shipping of plastic waste around the globe, is one of the world's largest contributers to climate change, as well as causing massive health problems and destroying vulnerable ecosystems.Ĭoca-Cola has a 30-yr long history of lobbying to derail and delay regulations and initiatives that would solve many of the problems of plastic, from efforts to weaken the EU Plastics Strategy to preventing desposit return schemes in developing nations. Much of this is generated in markets without effective waste management, meaning it ends up polluting the land, oceans and air. Today I have launched a petition to stop this madness.Ĭoca-Cola is the world's largest plastic polluter, responsible for 3 million tonnes of single-use plastic waste per year. It comes at a crucial time as well.Yesterday it was announced that The Coca-Cola Company will sponsor the UNFCCC UN COP27 Egypt climate conference in November. The move to roll out financial services is a way for the company, founded in 2012 in Beijing, to generate a new stream of revenue.

To address the safety issue, Didi announced a reorganization plan last month.
In 2017 too, two female customers were killed by their Didi drivers.Ĭonsidering the risks involved, the Ministry of Transport in late November 2018 said Hitch would remain offline until it corrected its safety problems, making things more difficult for Didi as far as profit was concerned. Both the women were using Didi's profitable carpooling Hitch service. Two passengers, both female, were killed in separate incidents involving Didi drivers. Besides this, Didi has come under fire over safety concerns.
In September 2018, the company's chief executive and founder Cheg Wei sent an internal letter to employees, stating the company has not turned a profit during recent years, and suffered a net loss of 4 billion yuan ($582 million) in 2018's first half alone. Despite having a strong presence in China, the previous year didn't end on a happy note for the company.
At its core, Didi, which has investments from the likes of Alibaba Group, Ant Financial Services Group and Apple, offers a range of transportation services for 550 million users, including taxi, express, premier, bus, designated driving, bike sharing and car sharing, ferried around by over 30 million drivers. The step to diversify outside the ride-hailing business comes after a year of safety scandals, and reported losses.
