Oreo maker Mondelēz claims it’s “made snacking right” using only sustainable palm oil. But this is just a marketing smokescreen trying to cover up a supply chain so complicated and opaque, it’s darker than an Oreo! Meanwhile, the candy giant dreams of being a sustainability champion and together, we can make that happen.

Mondelēz has already cut ties with many big, bad palm oil producers – but there are too many small palm oil companies that still burn and bulldoze rainforests illegally and are tied into the supply chains. Even one drop of the bad stuff mixed in your cookies means they are not what they’re trying to be: 100% sustainable (and Mondelēz knows that).

The good news is that as an industry leader it’s already keen to be a champion. All it needs is a big public push from a community like ours – and it gets better: If a leading snack food company like Mondelēz goes full-disclosure on palm oil and all other commodities, many of its peers will follow. We’d be SO close to snacks and candies free from rainforest destruction!

We are consumers, shareholders, workers and investors, what we tell a company like Mondelēz weighs heavily in the balance.
