Women working on palm oil plantations are enduring horrific working conditions: From working without pay to exposure to toxic pesticides to assault and rape. Shockingly, big beauty brands like, Procter & Gamble, continue to source from producers that exploit workers through human trafficking and forced labor.
Rainforest Action Network (RAN) investigations found that labor abuses regularly occur even on plantations that supply mills bearing the green palm stamp for sustainable palm oil.
Procter & Gamble says it is committed to respecting labor rights and it will not use forced labor in its palm oil supply chain, but its biggest palm oil supplier has been repeatedly exposed for using forced labor for more than five years. Even the U.S. government is blocking shipments from that exact company for this reason!
We need your help to pressure Procter & Gamble to address these longstanding labor abuses in its palm oil supply chain.
