Magnificent rainforests in Asia and South America are being slashed and set ablaze to produce palm oil, soy, beef and paper -- driving out the precious orangutans, pygmy elephants, and other endangered animals who call those trees home. 

But fast food giants Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell have failed to take meaningful action against this environmental catastrophe.

The restaurants are all owned by mega-corporation Yum! Brands. With zero transparency and limited accountability, there’s no way of knowing how many forests were destroyed to make your Pizza Hut meal.

We want the fast food giant to be more transparent on the deforestation it might be causing. By signing this petition, you can help prove that this is an issue that the public and their customers across the world feel strongly about -- and change Yum’s behaviour for good!

In its official sustainability policy, Yum! Brands bragged that by 2017, 100 percent of its palm oil would be sustainably sourced. Did that happen? Nope. Has it happened by now? Nobody knows as its reporting is vague.

Unlike most other leading brands, the owner of Pizza Hut and KFC’s hasn’t made its palm oil suppliers available to the public. The same goes for the timber used in its paper packaging, and the beef and it soy it uses, three other huge sources of deforestation, contributing to climate chaos.

We need to push the fast food giants to do better, before it’s too late for the rainforests and everyone who depends on them.

SumOfUs members like you have already helped save countless hectares of rainforests from destruction. Thousands of you pushed chocolate maker Lindt to catch up to the rest of the industry and publish an anti-deforestation action plan for its cocoa. And you got the RSPO, the world’s largest palm oil sustainability authority, to expel palm oil villain Indofood over its multiple environmental and labour abuses.

Together, we can show Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell that deforestation is just as bad for business as it is for endangered species, local communities, and the climate. But we’re going to have to make a lot of noise for the multi-billion-dollar corporation to start listening seriously.

If thousands of you show Yum! Brands you’re paying attention now, next month’s shareholder proposal will have a massive impact.
