The sad everyday reality that hides behind palm oil. We are in a concession of Wilmar Internacional, the largest distributor in the world, which supplies Colgate-Palmolive, General Mills, Hershey, Kellogg, Kraft Heinz, L'Oreal, Mars, Mondelez, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Reckitt Benckiser and Unilever
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him
Very small, alone and crying. Workers on a palm plantation found him. No trace of his mother.
It is the grim daily reality behind palm oil, this time documented by International Animal Rescue.
We are in a concession of the Wilmar International, the largest distributor of palm oil extracted from Kalimantan plantations belonging to Indonesia, on the island of Borneo.
Among his clients the most important companies in the world: Colgate-Palmolive, General Mills, Hershey, Kellogg, Kraft Heinz, L'Oreal, Mars, Mondelez, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Reckitt Benckiser and Unilever.
The export giant announced it would stop deforestation by 2020. The truth is Over 130 hectares of tropical forests have been cleared since 000.
So, here we are before the eyes of the umpteenth victim of deforestation. A little orangutan whose mother got lost or died due to arson.
Overwhelming proof that we are a far cry from the promises of the palm oil industry.
Unfortunately Wilmar is not the exception. All the main suppliers of palm oil and numerous multinationals that use this raw material are the authors of massive deforestation, the destruction of peatlands and the violation of workers' rights.
