Friends,
Certified sustainable palm oil?
More like certified deforestation, human rights abuse, and workers exploitation. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certifies destruction and major brands like PepsiCo love it.
The RSPO is the global certification body for “sustainable” palm oil. If a big name brand, like PepsiCo, Unilever, or Mondelez claims it’s using sustainable palm oil in the products you buy, it almost certainly means RSPO oil. A report published this week by our partner Rainforest Action Network (RAN) shows how
ongoing exploitation and abuse are rampant in RSPO-certified oil from palm oil giant Indofood.
Indofood is a repeated palm oil offender who makes all of PepsiCo's products in Southeast Asia, and a likely supplier to global brands Unilever, Kellogg's, Mondelez, Mars and Hershey's.
We can’t wait any longer. Now’s the perfect time to put the RSPO to test.
Send a message and demand the RSPO enforce its standards and drop palm oil suppliers who exploit workers or the planet.
Unfortunately, this is not a new problem. This is the second year in a row that RAN field investigations have shown rampant abuses in RSPO oil,
including problems as disturbing as the use of child labor on palm oil plantations.
The RSPO has dragged its heels, and so far has failed to do its job and enforce its own standards. To maintain credibility, protect the planet, and its people, the RSPO must kick out Indofood, and any other palm oil supplier refusing to produce its products without doing harm to workers or rainforests.
RAN’s report shows concrete evidence which proves Indofood’s ongoing abuses — in blatant violation of the RSPO standard.
The RSPO cannot claim ignorance any longer, and with your help we want to send a strong message today. It only takes a minute.
Demand the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil stop certifying Indofood and other forest-wrecking companies as “sustainable!”
