How Pew came to support farmed salmon is a sordid tale involving dirty oil money, big industrial NGOs (so-called BINGOs) and corporate greenwashing.
Pew Environment Group is part of the Pew Charitable Trusts which claims to “work globally to establish pragmatic, science-based policies that protect our oceans.”
In fact, Pew owe their origins and $5 billion fortune to oil. Joseph Pew founded US oil company Sun Oil (now Sunoco) and Pew still has significant investments in Exxon Mobil, Chevron and other oil companies.
Pew’s Managing Director Joshua Reichert also sits (rather uneasily given his support for the killing of marine mammals) on the board of directors of the Humane Society of the United States.
