Carex and deforestation in Indonesia

Pride of Lions

Pride of Lions

I am now official
I’ve just signed a petition calling on Carex to take action on palm oil used to make its products. This ingredient is leading to deforestation and wrecking the homes of orangutans.

It would mean a lot to me if you’d add your name too!

In Indonesia an area of forest the size of a football pitch is lost every 25 seconds.

The main driver of this reckless loss of habitat? Palm oil - an ingredient in almost half of the products on our supermarket shelves.

Getting Carex to come clean about where they source their palm oil from would help us hold them to account - and be a big first step towards destruction free palm oil.

Carex made a promise to have a deforestation free supply chain by 2020. If they’re going to keep it, they need to act now.

I'll sign that even though Carex are in a long queue of companies that are literally raping the forests

So sad
 
Signed but I do hate how they add you to their lists instead of allowing you to sign a petition and opt out straight away.

But yes, the rape of our rain forests, it will come back to bite us, no doubt at all.
 
Just last month we found out that Bornean orangutan numbers have more than halved – that's about 150,000 gone in less than 20 years.

Carex made a promise to customers – that by 2020 orangutans and forests wouldn't be sacrificed for the palm oil used to make their hand wash. But they're way off course and unless they start taking action now it'll be too late.

After people called them out, Unilever, Nestlé and Mondelez (Cadbury) came clean about where they get their palm oil from. Carex is lagging behind.

If Carex really do care they need to:

1. Come clean about where their palm oil comes from.
2. Publish a clear plan to reach their 2020 target.
3. Cut the offending growers from their supply chain.
