Nominations
Tesco plc (03.01.06)
Nominated in the category «ENVIRONMENT» by Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland (FoE EWNI) along with WALHI (FoE Indonesia)
Because of its irresponsible procurement policy, the British supermarket chain Tesco is driving the conversion of Southeast Asia’s remaining rainforests into palm oil plantations, destroying the last remaining habitat of the orang-utan. Tesco buys great amounts of palm oil as an ingredient in more than 1’000 of its products. Although aware of the link between those plantations and rainforest destruction, the company has taken absolutely no action to stop sourcing palm oil from destructive producers. Friends of the Earth demands that Tesco stop buying palm oil from plantations causing rainforest destruction, human rights abuses and threats to species survival.
