Wilmar is the largest palm oil distributor. In 2013, Greenpeace denounced that he is primarily responsible for deforestation in Indonesia, illegal cuts and wildfires.

A year later the company explained that it would launch some pioneering measures: “No to deforestation, no to the destruction of peatlands,” he said. On the contrary, Greenpeace has ensured that it has not complied with any of the commitments made by the company.

According to Greenpeace representative Kiki Taufi, “palm oil can be produced without destroying tropical rainforests. However, Wilmar is dismantling the forests.” He added that major brands such as Unilever, Nestlé and Colgate-Palmolive continue to be Wilmar customers, although customers have been sworn to use sustainable palm oil.

According to the report, the oil industry is destroying habitats: Many species have disappeared in the orangutans of Borneo and 193 are in danger.

Deforestation and the destruction of peatlands are the main causes of climate change, and that is why Indonesia is one of the world’s largest emitters of pollution, along with the United States and China.
