  1. Sandra Magee, 41, a farmer from North Devon present at the action, said: “McKinsey and Company develop the strategies which are propelling our planet into a catastrophic ‘hothouse earth’ state. We’re here to tell McKinsey employees that a habitable planet is infinitely more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel execs. Demand action on climate from your CEOs, not collaboration towards our mutual destruction!”

    Caroline Hartnell, 74 from Wandsworth, London, also participating today, said “Wake up! Fossil fuel emissions trap heat equivalent to a million Hiroshima bombs every day. Last month was the warmest January on record at 1.64ºC above pre industrial levels, the agreed safe limit was 1.5ºC. You are living through the sixth mass extinction event. So what we need from McKinsey and Co. is less greed. We demand McKinsey and Co. put Planet before Profit”.

  2. “McKinsey & Co. is the world’s biggest management consultancy with 45,000 employees operating globally. They work directly with Big Oil CEOs to maximise profit at the expense of people and planet.”

    I’m happy they did this, but I feel bad for the cleaners

  3. ALTERNATIVE HEADLINE NEWS – A police report said… 52 McKinsey & Co top employees should have been immediately arrested by police who were just too busy arresting annoying protestors. The police spokesperson said, “Sorry, we missed an excellent opportunity there.”

    Also one thousand McKinsey & Co staff who saw how their activities had led to the current environmental and climate crisis walked out. The group vowed publically to find jobs which did not include planet destroying. Shortly afterwards, they then decided to go back to work as they knew they had become unemployable elsewhere.

  4. Good. That company is awful.unfortunately just the destruction of the company does very little…the people make up the company and they have been trained to think in a certain way that cause negative effects…if you disburse the people it’s basically Pandora box unleashing a plague….perhaps that would cause things to dissipate over time…perhaps it would make things worse.
