Palm oil report

Greenpeace says global consumer brands such as such as Nestle, Pepsi-Co, Unilever and Colgate-Palmolive continue to buy palm oil from companies that are cutting down Indonesia’s rainforests despite repeated pledges to clean up their supply chains. The environmental group said in a report released yesterday that 25 palm oil producing groups it has investigated destroyed more than 130,000 hectares of natural forest in Indonesia since 2015. It says that’s an area nearly twice the size of the island nation of Singapore.
