Fact sheet on the complaint against oil company Pluspetrol filed by indigenous leaders from Peru filed to the National Contact Point for the OECD guidelines. Originally an Argentinian company, with its headquarters in Amsterdam via a “letterbox construction”, it has been guilty of serious environmental pollution and violations of the rights of indigenous people in the Peruvian Amazon. According to the complaint, Pluspetrol also acts contrary to OECD guidelines on taxation and transparency, because its Dutch office has set up fiscal constructions that make tax avoidance possible.
