IRS990/Desc0CLIMATE-TAR SANDS: In the U.S. and Canada, this campaign is making progress in halting the expansion of Canadas Tar Sands development, a climate change exacerbating project and one rife with human rights abuses, water and air pollution, and elimination of forest habitat. This international, multi-pronged approach is focused on curtailing or stopping various modes of Tar Sands transportation (pipelines, tanker traffic, and oil-by-rail). This work is supported and bolstered by sustained pressure on both corporations and government.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0HEALTHY FORESTS (STOP SFI GREENWASH): Having secured agreements from 25 major companies to stop using the Sustainable Forestry Initiatives (SFI) phony eco-label, in 2014 our campaign shifted to focus on transforming policies at specific US companies including 3M. This phase of the campaign employs a number of tactics and strategies that highlight corporate greenwashing via a companys usage and endorsement of the SFI label. In 2015, ForestEthics campaign resulted in a new 3M sustainability policy that will ensure that the maker of Post-it Notes will have a minimal impact on forests, wildlife and human rights. 3M will now hold paper and pulp suppliers accountable to one of the highest standards in the industry for environmental protection and respect of human rights.
