Drilling in the Arctic. Mass producing toxic chemicals. Buying elections. Every day, global corporations do immense harm to our environment, our public health, and our democracy. Now, it’s time to take a stand. You have the power to decide which corporation will join our shameful roster of the world’s worst corporations. Which one will you choose?
Cast your vote now for the worst corporation of 2015:

The competition in the Corporate Hall of Shame this year is stiff. Nestlé recklessly bottles water in California while the state suffers through one of the worst droughts in history1. Dow pours millions of dollars into lobbying for its toxic chemicals, including an herbicide used in Agent Orange2. Koch Industries floods U.S. elections to undermine environmental protections while being the top foreign leaseholder of Canadian tar sands3. And those are just three of the 10 nominees this year.
Which corporation will you choose?
Remember, your vote matters. After you decide the worst corporation of the year, we’ll work alongside allies to mobilize grassroots action to challenge that corporation’s egregious practices. We’ll turn up the heat and speak out in the media to put enormous public pressure on the corporation that receives the most votes. Your vote today will determine which corporation we take on.
We can’t -- and won’t -- stand by as global corporations like Koch Industries wreak havoc on the environment and corporations like Dow threaten our health. If you’re as outraged as I am by global corporate abuse, join me in taking action.
Cast your ballot right now in the Corporate Hall of Shame to choose this year’s worst of the worst. And if there's another corporation you think should be inducted into the Hall of Shame, you can write in your own nominee and ask your friends to do the same.
Thanks for challenging corporate abuse,
Patti Lynn
