From Peru to the Netherlands: Corporate Responsibility for Oil Pollution (TV webcast)
5 september 2025 @ 20:00 - 22:00
What can the Netherlands do to hold polluting companies to account?
For decades, oil company Pluspetrol, headquartered in the Netherlands, has polluted the Peruvian Amazon, devastating Indigenous communities with oil spills and toxic waste. In 2019, those communities—together with SOMO, Oxfam Novib, Oxfam Peru and Peru Equidad—filed a complaint at the Dutch OECD National Contact Point. On 3 September 2025, the NCP will finally publish its verdict. Join us on 5 September at Pakhuis de Zwijger to hear directly from Indigenous leaders, civil society and MPs. Together we’ll reflect on this landmark case and debate what the Netherlands must do to hold companies accountable worldwide.
