Mondelēz International, maker of such products as Oreo cookies and Ritz crackers, announced that it is dropping 12 palm oil suppliers that contribute to deforestation. The company also called for 100 percent sustainability and 100 percent transparency across the palm oil industry. Mondelēz now demands that its palm oil suppliers map all mills they buy from, to identify and focus on areas of highest risk for deforestation; and act faster to eliminate deforestation in their palm oil supply chain.
Let us thank Mondelēz International for their pledge to protect the fragile environment and help save endangered species.
