Unilever, the company behind products like Dove soap, is driving forest destruction and speeding up climate change by buying palm oil from companies which are destroying Indonesia's rainforests to make way for palm oil plantations. Bad news not only for the millions of people who depend on these for their way of life and endangered species such as the orang-utan, but also for the global climate.
By their own admission, Unilever is the biggest single user of palm oil in the world and must stop buying palm oil from these companies and call for a halt on the destruction of Indonesian forests to grow palm oil.
For this reason today Greenpeace took actions at the offices and factories of Unilever in the UK, the Netherlands and Italy.
