STOP DEFORESTATION: PROTECT THE LEUSER ECOSYSTEM!

The Leuser Ecosystem is the only place on Earth where you can find elephants, tigers, rhinos, and orangutans all living under the same forest canopy. And it’s under attack by greedy corporations.

After our undercover investigations exposed palm oil plantations destroying critical wildlife habitat, we traced their Conflict Palm Oil back to big brands making everything from snacks to personal care products.

Thanks to you, we’ve made real, on-the-ground progress this year but some brands are still NOT following their own commitments to no deforestation and still can't guarantee deforestation-free palm oil in their products! 

Tell them the time has come to cut ties to Conflict Palm Oil and STOP deforestation in the Leuser Ecosystem!

Keep your promise: stop deforestation

To: Colgate-Palmolive, Kao, Mars, Mondelēz, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, and Unilever:

Field investigations conducted by RAN have documented that palm oil grown at the expense of the rainforests in Indonesia’s world-renowned Leuser Ecosystem is being used to manufacture products sold by your company.

Your company claims to be committed to “No Deforestation” — but it has failed to take responsibility for knowing what’s happening at the forest floor and intervening to ensure Conflict Palm Oil does not enter its supply chain.

Effective immediately, your company must enforce its “No Deforestation” policy, disclose its forest footprint, and establish transparent and verifiable monitoring, traceability and compliance systems to ensure that all of your suppliers are producing truly responsible palm oil. 

Your company has made a promise to end deforestation. I’m calling on your company to ensure you uphold that promise and stop driving destruction into the heart of the Leuser Ecosystem, one of the highest priority conservation landscapes for addressing the climate and extinction crises. We still have a chance to keep forests standing in the Leuser Ecosystem, but there is no time to waste.
