Action Group: Divestment from forest-removal companies

Among the 20 largest companies competing in BC’s over-sized forest-removal industry, there are 9 that are publicly traded. They are each responsible for large releases of greenhouse gases and a loss in carbon sequestration capacity as a consequence of their operations. Each company’s operations contribute to the decline in wildlife habitat and populations. In the midst of the climate emergency and biodiversity collapse, it is unethical to hold investments in such companies. The Evergreen Alliance is building a science-based case to encourage investors in these companies to divest their shares.
