Demand Accountability from Brands: Stop Greenwashing Dirty Palm Oil!
Branded products can claim to be clean and green when sold on the shelf, but could they be hiding away something ugly in their supply chain? It's time to ensure brands are walking the talk.
A number of palm oil plantation company subsidiaries have conducted multiple violations in their business operations. Have brands honored their commitment to not source their palm oil from suppliers that violate ESG principles? Or are they turning a blind eye to their dirty supply chain when no one's watching?
TuK INDONESIA has reached out to a number of notable brands that have been indicated to supply their palm oil from the offending companies and asked them to conduct investigations on their own supply chains. We have compiled this timeline to monitor the responses of companies during this campaign.
