But the NGO is not expected to be staging public protests against sponsors in Beijing. Jamie Choi, corporate social responsibility campaigner, Greenpeace China, said: “We are mainly engaged in privately lobbying of sponsors, and have decided this will have the maximum effect.”
The report will be released in July. “We will talk honestly about the achievements as well as the failures of sponsors in this report, and those of the 2008 Olympics as a whole.”
Greenpeace was recently successful in its protests against Unilever for the role of its Dove brand in destroying Indonesia’s peat rainforests.
Greenpeace produced a pastiche of Dove’s ‘Onslaught’ film, and its activists dressed up as orangutans, the apes endangered by habitat loss from palm oil production, and protested outside Unilever offices.
