“Nestle’s concessions don’t go nearly far enough. The company accepts much more has to be done to stop the destruction of forests for palmoil

17 March 2010

International— Commenting on Nestle’s announcement that it is suspending direct contracts in Indonesia with palm oil giant Sinar Mas:






“Nestle’s concessions don’t go nearly far enough. The company accepts
much more has to be done to stop the destruction of forests for palm
oil, but it hasn’t delivered the kind of action we hoped to see.


Despite today’s announcement, Nestle will still be using palm oil from Sinar Mas in KitKats, because they’ll still be getting it from their other suppliers. The Greenpeace campaign will continue until Nestle has cut the Sinar Mas group from its supply chain completely,“ said John Sauven, Greenpeace UK executive director.
