You did it John!

We’re one step closer to saving the last orangutans from palm oil destruction, and that’s thanks to you.

After more than 5 years of campaigning, PepsiCo has changed its palm oil sourcing policy, and agreed to use its influence with other companies to end rainforest destruction and human rights abuses.

This is a MASSIVE VICTORY. And John, it’s thanks to SumOfUs members like you.

PepsiCo is the world’s second-largest food and beverage company. By moving this snack food giant, you moved an entire sector!

Last year, during the company’s shareholder meeting, we presented more than a million signatures gathered over 5 years asking PepsiCo to cut ties with conflict palm oil. In response to your efforts and continued pressure, this year PepsiCo announced an industry-leading policy and a series of actions to tackle rainforest destruction, worker abuse, and exploitation of communities for cheap palm oil.

You’ve done so much over the past 5 years and I am really thankful for your support. Together, we’ve signed dozens of petitions to the company’s top bosses, exposed their dirty palm oil secrets on social media, and put out brand jamming viral videos that raked in more than 20 million views.

We also confronted PepsiCo on its turf -- We protested outside PepsiCo’s headquarters, and for three years, we crashed the company’s shareholder meeting in New Bern, North Carolina, bringing your demands to the birthplace of Pepsi.

YOU, John, forced PepsiCo to change, year after year, closing one loophole after another in the company’s palm oil policies, until they got it right.

We forced PepsiCo to take meaningful action, but the last orangutans are still facing extinction and palm oil villains are still profiting off rainforest destruction. I’ve worked on this campaign with SumOfUs members for the past 5 years, and I’ve never doubted that together, we would succeed to get PepsiCo to change its ways. And together, as we celebrate this victory, I’m asking you for help again.

John, this massive victory wouldn't have been possible without the generous donations of SumOfUs members. You make it possible for us to run long term campaigns -- and what a smashing success! Would you like to make a one off donation to help save the last orangutans from palm oil destruction?

P.S. I also want to personally thank our long time partners Rainforest Action Network and the International Labor Rights Forum as well as OPPUK, an Indonesian organization working on the ground. They all played a critical role in securing this victory.
