The truth exposed


                        Exclusive report exposes destruction of Borneo’s 
forests by PepsiCo’s palm oil partner in Indonesia.

                        Tell PepsiCo to cut conflict palm oil once and for 
all.

            Add this to PepsiCo’s conflict palm oil file: we’ve released a 
report that ties the snack food giant to massive-scale deforestation in 
Indonesia, home to our precious orangutans.

            PepsiCo has knowingly stayed in business with the Salim Group, a 
company tied to reckless palm oil producers responsible for the destruction 
of nearly 10,000 hectares of Borneo’s pristine peat forests––an area bigger 
than Manhattan!

            Meanwhile, PepsiCo keeps on promising that it’s working towards 
a truly sustainable palm oil policy, making commitments to human rights and 
zero deforestation. But this new report leaves no doubt: this whole time, 
PepsiCo’s palm oil promises have been nothing but smoke and mirrors.

            Tell PepsiCo it's time to cut ties with companies destroying our 
rainforests and exploiting their workers for cheap palm oil.

            Tell PepsiCo we won't stand for conflict palm oil: it's time to 
cut ties with companies causing climate chaos.

            While PepsiCo makes profits cutting corners in its palm oil 
policy, people and the planet are paying a steep price. Tropical rainforests 
are falling at increasing rates for new palm oil plantations -- pushing 
endangered species like Borneo’s pygmy elephant to the brink of extinction.

            Field investigations and satellite analysis show that palm oil 
companies tied to the Salim Group have continued to destroy carbon-rich peat 
forests in Borneo for five years straight. The destruction has continued in 
defiance of Indonesian laws, fueling the fires that rage each year, 
accelerating climate change, and causing a health crisis for local 
communities.

            Why did PepsiCo partners engage in such reckless practices? It’s 
the cheapest way to clear a forest for a palm oil plantation.

            Tell PepsiCo we won't stand for conflict palm oil: it's time to 
cut ties with companies causing climate chaos.

            We won’t take any more of PepsiCo’s empty promises while it 
continues to work with repeat offenders who destroy rainforests and exploit 
workers.

            We’re calling on Pepsi to adopt a comprehensive “No 
Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation” palm oil policy that applies to all 
of its business partners at the company group level, and to close the 
loopholes that give its business partners and palm oil suppliers a free pass 
to operate with no sustainability standards.

            In October 2018, hundreds of thousands of us successfully put 
pressure on PepsiCo to stop sourcing palm oil entirely from Indofood and 
IndoAgri. The problem is that PepsiCo is still making money off its joint 
venture partnership with Indofood.

            Join us in telling PepsiCo: it's time to stop being complicit 
and to cut conflict palm oil for good.
