Palm oil plantation
January 2014: One of the world’s largest beauty and cosmetic company L’Oreal has agreed to remove palm oil gained from forest destruction from its products by 2020. “In a win for consumers around the world, L’Oreal has committed to ending its role in forest destruction. Thousands of people in Indonesia and around the world who have signed up demanding forest-friendly products will be turning their eyes to companies such as P&G, the producer of Heads & Shoulders, and Colgate Palmolive to guarantee that they too are not peddling dirty palm oil from forest destruction,” said Bustar Maitar, head of the Indonesia Forest Campaign at Greenpeace International. With this commitment L’Oreal now joins Nestle, Unilever, Ferrero, and palm oil giant Wilmar International and pressure remains on other companies to follow suit. However Greenpeace say that, although it sends out a strong message, this is still too long as it allows their suppliers six more years to clear forests.
