Oreo cookies, Cadbury Cream eggs, and Milka chocolate are making Mondelēz rich while impoverishing entire communities in Indonesia as they are not only filled with bulldozed rainforests but also double-stuffed with broken promises!
Mondelēz, one of the world’s biggest snack food companies, is sourcing palm oil from bad players who’ve taken away Indigenous lands for their plantations but never delivered on the promised share in the billion-dollar palm oil business. Thousands of families were hoping to have a steady income and send their kids to school but instead were left with nothing – and Mondelēz is complicit in this bitter-sweet symphony of human rights violations.
But if we run a massive brand-damaging campaign against Mondelēz, it could stop buying palm oil from promise-breaking producers – which then starts a cascade of more big brands dropping these bad players, forcing them once and for all to invest in the communities and livelihoods they destroyed.
Tell Mondelēz: Drop dirty palm oil producers NOW
