People power..it works!
Congratulations to Greenpeace for leading the charge, and to all our Climate Mamas and Papas around the world who signed petitions, reached out to Lego and helped spread the news. It worked..On October 8th, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, President and Chief Executive Officer of the LEGO Group announced: “as things currently stand we will not renew the co-promotion contract with Shell when the present contract ends.”
Yours,
Climate Mama
