Workers at several Indonesian palm oil plantations that supply Pepsi and Nestle suffer from a variety of labor abuses, including lower-than-minimum wages, child labor, exposure to pesticides, and union busting, according to a new report from the Rainforest Action Network (RAN).

#Unilever, #McDonald’s et #Nestlé accusés de #déforestation illégale en #Indonésie

Plusieurs grandes marques agroalimentaires sont impliquées dans un cas de déforestation illégale en Indonésie, selon l’ONG Rainforest Action Network. Plus de 330 hectares de forêt sont partis en fumée en seulement quelques mois sur l’île de #Sumatra qui abrite de nombreuses espèces rares, malgré un moratoire interdisant la plantation de #palmiers_à_huile dans cette région.

Want to be a responsible palm oil firm? Follow these reporting guidelines
▻https://news.mongabay.com/2017/01/want-to-be-a-responsible-palm-oil-firm-follow-these-reporting-guideli

Twenty nonprofits and investor groups released on Tuesday a set of reporting guidelines for palm oil firms who have pledged to operate responsibly and transparently.

Adherence to the guidelines would provide a clearer view of what companies are doing to address problems caused by the industry, whose rapid expansion is driving forest loss and social conflict in Southeast Asia and, increasingly, in Africa and Latin America.

Under pressure from civil society, many large palm oil firms have committed to purge their operations of environmental destruction, land grabbing and human rights abuses. But a chasm remains between what they have promised on paper and the reality on the ground.

“We must erase corporate greenwash and set the standard for responsible reporting on the implementation of corporate palm oil policies,” said Gemma Tillack, director of the Rainforest Action Network’s agribusiness campaign. The NGO is one of those behind the guidelines.

Corporate Tax Dodgers: The Dirtiest Dozen » Rainforest Action Network Blog
►http://understory.ran.org/2011/04/14/corporate-tax-dodgers-the-dirtiest-dozen

We reviewed 12 of the dirtiest corporate tax dodgers: Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Chevron, BP, Shell, Exxon, Massey Energy, Alpha Natural Resources, Peabody Energy and Arch Coal. These 12 banks, oil and coal companies are responsible for foreclosing on millions of people’s homes and polluting our air, water and climate. At the same time, we found that they pay next to nothing into a tax system that provides the very services that protect the homeless, the sick and our environment.
