Boston, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - December 1, 2022) - Block & Leviton announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Enviva, Inc. (NYSE: EVA) for securities law violations. Investors who purchased shares and have lost money are encouraged to contact the firm to learn more about how they might recover those losses.

What is this all about?

On October 12, 2022, Blue Orca Capital issued a short report alleging that purported ESG wood pellet producer, Enviva, Inc. "is flagrantly greenwashing its wood procurement."

According to the report, Enviva claims to be an ESG Company, when instead it is relying on a carbon accounting loophole that "subsidizes European power companies to replace coal with wood pellets derived from deforestation in the United States." Using GPS data to geolocate Enviva's harvests, Blue Orca found satellite imagery of clear-cut forests, a controversial practice involving the removal of full swaths of forest. Clear-cutting is a widely condemned practice by both ESG investors and climate change advocates.

Additional allegations in the short report include the company overstating the sustainability of harvests, decreasing hardwood forest inventory around the Company's facilities, inflated profit margins from providing equipment to loggers in exchange for reduced prices, and overpayment for related party transactions.

Shares of Enviva, Inc. stock dropped more than 13% in intraday trading on October 12, 2022.

Who is eligible?

Anyone who purchased Enviva, Inc. stock between February 21, 2019 and October 11, 2022, whether or not they have sold their investment. Investors should contact Block & Leviton to learn more.
