Monsanto named Most Evil Company of the Year

Members of an international group called SumOfUs have voted for Monsanto as the world’s worst company. This year alone, Monsanto sued a tiny U.S. state for daring to label GMOs, and terrorised Guatemalan farmers for daring to save their own seeds to plant rather than buying the sterile GM product that has to be purchased afresh every year. As usual, Monsanto goes on using its massive profits to crush public opinion wherever it is detected – but this time, the company’s own shareholders are getting uneasy.

A group of SumOfUs members submitted a shareholder resolution demanding change. They want to see an independent chair of Monsanto’s board of directors. Shareholders will have to vote on the proposal very soon, in this run-up period before the company’s AGM. Naturally, Monsanto will deploy all its big guns to blow the proposal out of the water, so a petition is running internationally. If you want to sign, hit Control and click here.
