US Person mentioned the Indonesian palm oil giant, Sinar Mas in a previous post. Greenpeace was successful in getting Nestles to agree not to use palm oil suppliers that destroy rain forest.
{2.07.10} Greenpeace continues to investigate the company, and it has caught the perpetrator in the act of clearing rain forest containing priceless orangutan habitat and carbon rich peat lands despite its public repentence. Confidential company documents obtained by Greenpeace show the company plans to expand its pulp and palm oil operations in Indonesia by an additional million hectares (3,861 square miles). The latest clearances shown in these photos (via wildlifeextra.com) are on the island of Borneo. The environmental organization's spokesperson said Sinar Mas is a "typical firm with an appalling record of environmental destruction". While some firms like Nestle, Kraft and Unilever have ended their contracts with the firm others like giant Cargil continue to do business with the irresponsible and destructive Sinar Mas.
