Palm oil is incredibly important to global food, animal feed and home and personal care supply chains. It is found in products we all use every day
We can play a vital role in ensuring that it is produced in a sustainable way that benefits people, wildlife and the natural environment, while also reducing our impact on climate change, by buying and supporting sustainably produced palm oil.
Avoiding palm oil will lead to unsustainably produced palm oil simply being diverted to other buyers, or the use of more land-hungry alternatives. Thus, a ban will not solve the problems of unsustainable palm oil.
