Input on Petrobras and car & truck manufacturers from Coalizà£o pelo Ar Limpo

In its Ethical Ranking 2008, Covalence ranked Petrobras as leader in the Oil & Gas sector. The signatories of the attached letter – legitimate organizations of the Brazilian Civil Society, in the environmental, consumers and academic fields, as well as governmental bodies responsible for environmental affairs – were very surprised by this finding. Given that the methodology used by Covalence does not include information sources in Portuguese, the language in which most information about Petrobras’ activities are published, we send you the attached letter and attachment in order to complement the information on which your analysis is based. Please use the following link to access a collection of articles published in the media on the subject (headlines are translated into English): http://www.ethicalquote.com/newTemplate/docs/CoalizaopeloArLimpo.doc. The Akatu Institute for Conscious Consumption serves, at this point in time, as Executive Secretariat to the Coalition of organizations that are signatories to this letter and will gather the necessary information to answer to your questions.
