The StopEsso campaign was launched on 8 May 2001 after the US Government rejected
the international treaty on global warming, the Kyoto Protocol. No other company
has done more then Esso to sabotage Kyoto, misinform US policymakers and confuse
the US public. See our background links for more information on what Esso has
done to sabotage international efforts to address global warming.
StopEsso is an UK campaign organised by Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and
People & Planet. We are supported by tens of thousands of people in the
UK including the following public figures, businesses, organisations and councils.
If you have a business and are actively boycotting Esso, send us an email and
we'll put you on the list. If you have contacted us before about going on this
list, please remind us by emailing us at info@stopesso.com
