Golden Veroleum Liberia’s track record: broken promises and continued deforestation

Sustainable Development Institute (SDI) and Milieudefensie researched Golden Veroleum Liberia (GVL)’s compliance with three social contracts or Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with local communities in 2014. We found that GVL consistantly failed to live up on its promises. Therefore, Milieudefensie and SDI call upon GVL, its owners, and financiers to radically change and improve their practices.
