Two days, two shareholder meetings

This action has been completed – thank you to everyone who participated.

 

French oil giant Total is on the cusp of building a massive crude oil pipeline right through the heart of Africa – and South Africa’s Standard Bank is lending a hand.

Both of these corporations happen to hold their Annual General Meetings back to back on May 27 and May 28, 2021. So supporters of the #StopEACOP campaign all around the world held two days of protests – outside Standard Bank’s corporate headquarters, at Total petrol station and on social media.

We had a clear message: The age of oil is over, it’s time to #StopEACOP and support just and sustainable clean energy projects that will actually benefit local communities!

Thanks to everyone who participated. Make sure you’re on our mailing list for future alerts and calls to action.

#STOPEACOP

FOR PEOPLE

EACOP threatens to displace thousands of families and farmers from their land and has already disrupted the livelihoods of many. If allowed to move forward, it would also place at risk vital water sources that millions of people rely upon for drinking and food production.

#STOPEACOP

FOR NATURE

EACOP will rip through some of the world’s most important elephant, lion and chimpanzee nature reserves. There’s also concern that the pipeline will open up more critical ecosystems to even more oil extraction. 

#STOPEACOP

FOR CLIMATE

EACOP will fuel climate change by enabling the extraction of oil which will generate over 34 million tons of CO2 emissions every single year. To solve the climate crisis, we must stop building new fossil fuel projects.
