Greenpeace has released the results of a year long investigation showing that P&G is sourcing palm oil from companies connected to widespread forest destruction. Its sourcing policies also expose its supply chain to forest fires and habitat destruction that is pushing the Sumatran tiger to the edge of extinction. Hundreds of thousands of people have joined the movement demanding forest-friendly products. It's time P&G clean up its supply chains and guarantee their products are free from forest destruction.
