Open letter on Chevron’s business operations in Myanmar (March 23, 2021)

Heartland and more than 150 civil society organizations and concerned individuals called on Chevron and its partners to use their ownership stakes in joint ventures with the Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE) to ensure that payments of royalties and other revenues are not made to MOGE. Instead, companies should make revenue payments into protected accounts until such time as the legitimate and democratically elected government is returned.
