Holland and Barrett who claim to sell products that are more ethically based, use Palm Oil in some of their products. They cannot guarantee that these products are sourced from sustainable sources, despite their Plan-it-Green policy.
''We do work closely with our suppliers to ensure that the palm oil is from a sustainable source however, we cannot guarantee 100% of our suppliers are sourcing this ingredient from sustainable sources''
Please petition Holland and Barrett to make their stance on this issue more transparent, as Palm Oil is a leading cause of rainforest deforestation and decimation of the orangutang population.
I feel strongly that your company should avoid palm oil where possible +if there are really no alternatives, then belonging to Rspo would at least be trying to stop damage to the Earth but also to protect workers. I would like an assurance on this or may feel I should not buy your products.
