We know who’s setting Indonesia’s forests on fire

 
 

Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, and their megacorporation friends are scorching our planet with their insatiable demand for cheap palm oil and paper.

But we’ve caught them red-handed in this arson: Tell them now to stop setting Indonesia’s forests on fire.

John,

A thick toxic haze suffocates half of Indonesia -- keeping children out of school and driving orangutans, rhinos and elephants closer to extinction.

Yet Nestlé and Procter & Gamble continue doing business with the rogue palm oil and paper producers who recklessly burn precious rainforests to the ground.

It's time we turn the heat on Nestlé and P&G and make sure that every piece of paper and every single drop of palm oil they use for their products are 100% sustainably sourced.

Tell Nestlé and P&G: Stop setting Indonesia’s rainforests on fire – act NOW

Nestlé and P&G are two of the biggest consumer goods companies in the world and like to praise themselves as sustainability leaders. Both are part of the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) -- a corporate alliance whose members produce the food and household goods millions of people use every day. This group was supposedly committed to ending deforestation in their supply chains by 2020. We know how that went.

All of their “updated” forest protection policies aren’t worth more than the paper they’re written on. They lack accountability by putting the responsibility on the intermediaries like the oil palm plantations or mills. Nestlé, P&G, and most of their peers have greenwashed their way through this mess for too long.

Our forest risk team has proof that these two companies are sourcing palm oil from producers that are setting the precious rainforests of Sumatra and Kalimantan on fire as we speak. They’re running out of excuses, and that’s our moment to hound their CEOs with this hard-hitting message:

Tell Nestlé and P&G: Enough is enough! Stop setting Indonesia’s rainforests on fire – clean up your palm oil and paper supply chains!

Without enough public pressure on Nestlé and co., these gigantic profit hoarders will simply keep making empty promises while pushing Indonesia’s forests to the point of no return. That's why now is the time to hammer our message home -- and we're asking you to join us, just like when thousands of you successfully pressured Pepsi into radically overhauling its palm oil sourcing policy.

Thanks for all that you do,
