Adani is in crisis. The world’s largest private coal operator - whose projects have trampled over Indigenous lands and dredged through natural treasures like the Great Barrier Reef - is in free fall.
Why? Because a top investment research firm dropped an explosive report calling Adani “one of the largest corporate frauds in history" and accusing it of “brazen accounting fraud, stock manipulation and money laundering.” Since then over $70bn has been wiped from the value of the company.
But it’s not enough to stop CEO of Adani Group, Gautam Adani - yet. His devastating coal expansion has only been made possible because of trillions in financing from the world's most prestigious financial institutions. It will only be stopped once these investors pull out.
——————
Adani has 17 coal mines in the works across the Asia-Pacific region. The Adani Group has a horrific track record of violence, exploitation, corruption, land-grabbing, the list goes on.
There are incredible stories of courage and resistance standing up against this company that has stolen people’s homes and ancestral land from the Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners in Australia, to the Indigenous Adivasi communities in India.
But it’s happening in places far from where the deals are being made by CEOs and businessmen from Wall Street, to the City of London. That is where you come in.
Will you sign the petition calling for CEOs like TIAA: Thasunda Brown Duckett, Blackrock: Larry Fink, Pimco: Emmanuel Roman and abrdn: Stephen Bird to stop supporting the climate destroying company Adani?
