Cargill customers cancel with Sinar Mas while Cargill continues to support rainforest destruction
Nestle, the world’s largest food and beverage company, has become the latest major multinational to cancel their palm oil contract with Sinar Mas, one of Indonesia’s largest conglomerates and a leading producer of both palm oil and wood pulp for paper and packaging products.
A string of reports have shown that Sinar Mas is actively clear cutting Indonesia’s forests, home to the endangered Orangutan, Sumatran Tiger, and Elephant, in violation of Indonesian law. Not only is Sinar Mas’ palm oil dirty and dangerous, it is also illegal.
With the world’s major buyers of palm oil, including Uniliver, Kraft, Sainsbury and now Nestle cutting ties with Sinar Mas, Cargill’s support of Sinar Mas’ rainforest destruction and chain of illegalities has become all the more unacceptable.
