cavegal Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 It seems that Sheffield city council indirectly support the Israeli Occupation of Gazza and the West Bank ?? French multinational Veolia helps to operate the illegal Jerusalem Light Rail that facilitates the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and owns a landfill site in an illegal Israeli settlement http://www.whoprofits.org/company/veolia-environnement http://www.globalexchange.org/economicactivism/veolia/victories - See more at: http://www.bdsmovement.net/2014/kuwait-to-boycott-50-companies-12770#sthash.pdiTK8DM.dpuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bloke Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 That's the thing with multinationals; some of the business interests they have are in conflict to your own personal interests. If you don't like it, feel free to not use the Council waste services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbow2411 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I was most annoyed because Sainsburys didn't have Jaffa oranges on the shelves today I hope they haven't joined in this silly boycott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Belle* Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 And this chap represents his company on Veolia's board of directors: Khaled Mohamed Ebrahim Al Sayed holds a US degree in electrical engineering and has held a range of positions in various divisions of internationally recognized organizations based in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Ethics often come second to ca$h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

999tigger Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I doubt they know of the connection. Why dont you write you them and ask if they have an official position on it? If they were aware of that connection then will you be requesting they cut all ties with veolia at any cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiggs Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Looks like Veolia got the message already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
