Resources slump: Why oil and mining must garner social capital
Many oil and mining companies are slashing investments as commodity prices collapse. For their own sake, the socio-political fall out will need to be sensitively managed
After several years of headlong expansion, big oil and mining companies are pulling up abruptly. Soaring commodity prices, which during the past year have broken records in markets from crude oil to copper, have slumped across the board since July 2008.
Together with the impact of the credit crunch on project finance, this drop has forced scores of extractive companies to cut back on new investments and scale down production at many existing operations.

sustainability - Anna Kay, 9 Dec 2008
If theres a company that needs to understand the meaning of sustainability, its Chevron. Chevron is acting like it has done nothing wrong in the rainforest of Ecuador, where Texaco (Chevron bought Texaco in 2001) dumped over 18 billion gallons of oil and toxic water into the streams. Today the drinking water is contaminated and over 1,000 people have died from cancer and thousands more are sick with skin disease and respiratory illness. If you want to find out more about what is surely the largest environmental disaster on the planet, read this blog, http://www.thechevronpit.blogspot.com and this article, http://www.http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/laplaza/2008/11/ecuador-keeps-u.html
