Remember the post of Viviana on protest against Greenpaeace Where for cutting the Indonesian rainforest in order to obtain the palm oil? Well, the activists of Greenpaeace bring home a beautiful victory: Unilever dietrofront ago.

Patrick Cescau, CEO of Unilever, in a speech in London agreed to a request by Greenpeace to stop a definitive destruction of Indonesian rainforests el’impianto palm oil requesting a moratorium. Cescau has also promised that all the palm oil used by Unilever come from sustainable production by 2015.

The destruction of forests in Indonesia, according to Greenpeace, accounts for 4 per cent to global emissions of greenhouse gases. The association is fighting now, so that other large multinationals that use palm oil and the members of RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), including Procter & Gamble, Kraft, Nestle and Ferrero, join forces together Unilever to ask for their suppliers of palm oil to support the moratorium to stop the destruction under way. “The commitment of Unilever for a sustainable palm oil - said the head of Greenpeace forests campaign Clare Champion - will have no meaning if its suppliers do not stop destroying the Indonesian rainforests. And ‘why the moratorium is so important, and also other companies that use palm oil - ends - must support it. “
