Major international household names, including Nestle and PepsiCo, have taken action after our investigation revealed serious human rights violations committed by their suppliers in Brazil.
Our investigation, Amazon Palm, reported that major brands like Cargill, Hersheys, Kellogs, Nesle and PepsiCo were continuing to source palm oil from Pará, Brazil, despite their suppliers’ links to torture and fraud.
Now, after the release of our investigation and its allegations, Cargill, Hersheys, Kellogs, Nesle and PepsiCo have all agreed to suspend BBF, one of the suppliers accused of shocking human right abuses.
This is a huge step forward and proves that public pressure works!
