Appeal to POSCO Shareholders
Arun Shrivastava Salem-News.com"Effectively, your company has declared a war on us. An illegal war in which they are using paid mercenaries to kidnap and torture protesters."

(DELHI, India) - A new appeal relates to the POSCO project in India, which has increasingly been a subject of our reports; the people of India are increasingly speaking out against POSCO, Wikipedia offers this description:
- In June 2005, POSCO signed a memorandum of understanding with the State of Orissa in India. Under the agreement, POSCO plans to invest US$12 billion to construct a plant with four blast furnaces, an electricity plant, housing, and an annual production capacity of 12 million tons of steel, which is slated to start production in 2010.
However the problems spinning out of this project are adversely affecting the local population, the project is being carried out by the world's third-largest steel firm. POSCO is a multinational steel-making company headquartered in Pohang, South Korea.
To,
ALL POSCO SHAREHOLDERS IN THE USA AND EUROPE
APPEAL: PLEASE WITHDRAW YOUR SHAREHOLDING IN POSCO
SPECIAL REQUEST TO PENSION FUNDS IN THE USA
- Dear Shareholders,
- We, the villagers of Dhenkia, Nuagaon, and Gobindpur share our concerns and grief with you. Your company POSCO is behaving like a medieval marauder in our villages.
- POSCO has influenced the Indian Government, the Odisha Government, and the local police and civilian administration to acquire our lands forcibly and destroy our homes and livelihoods. They have terrorizing our villagers over the last four years.
- The local police has slapped false criminal charges against peaceful protestors-men, women and even minor children as young as 12.
- Many have been beaten, tortured and jailed.
- People can’t live a normal life in our villages; children can’t go to school; patients requiring serious medical attention can’t go to a hospital.
- The entire area where POSCO wants to establish a port and steel plant illegally has been garrisoned. Please note that unless the landowners want, under Indian law, lands can’t be forcibly acquired from us. POSCO management knows these Constitutional Rights.
- Effectively, your company has declared a war on us. An illegal war in which they are using paid mercenaries to kidnap and torture protesters.
- Our struggle will go on. We want to ensure peaceful life and secured livelihoods that our forefathers gave us for our children, and their children.
- We are as proud people as you are. We care for our women and children just as you do.
- Please don’t support POSCO whose management is behaving like a bunch of criminals. Please withdraw your investments in POSCO.
Thank you.
The people of the villages of Dhenkia, Nuagaon, Gobindpur

Scaring the people and terrorizing them into compliance is the same techniques used in the Congo and Sudan (among other hot spots in Africa) for ITS resources.

Editor: Well, this didn't take long, thank you. If other readers have specific emails we will gladly add those also, it is the least we can do.

Their website is devoid of a lot of information... You have to read the annual reports to get anything worthwhile.
But their Investor's Relations documents were also devoid of any addresses or phone numbers.

If anyone with better databases can track down their directors, I will send a letter to them.
The only governance I could find are these. If anyone had emails for anyone, let's get the word out...

Who is on the The Social Contribution Committee?
[The Social Contribution Committeeholds two meetings per year with active participation of CEOs across POSCO affiliates. Two separate organizations, the Social Contribution Group and the Bureau of Corporate Ethics, were established to ensure management transparency.]
They also state er: Upholding business ethics - "Establishing and expanding ethics management in our daily business is a companywide priority. POSCO
operates several ethics programs for business units, affiliates and overseas
offices."
Maybe we could harass their auditor until we know that the responsible parties are informed about what is going on:

What is the email address for these pieces of shit?
I think we might be able to get a few people to write to the company.
How about their mailing address and phone number?
Editor: I can't see that being a problem, let's see if our friends in India can shortcut this information for us.
