The companies are even buying from individual palm oil concessions under public investigation for illegal fires.<\/p>\n<p>Unilever, Mondelez, Nestle, and P&amp;G are each linked to\u00a0up to\u00a010,000 fire hotspots, as they buy from palm oil producer groups with the highest numbers of fire hotpots in 2019. The palm oil traders Wilmar, Cargill, Musim Mas, and Golden-Agri Resources (GAR) have extensive links to this year\u2019s fires in Indonesia and together supply more than three-quarters of global palm oil.[1] The new analysis shows extensive overlap among these companies and the palm oil producer groups with the largest burned areas in 2015-2018.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompanies have created a facade of sustainability. But the reality is that they source from the very worst offenders across the board. The companies responsible for the fires and those who financially benefit from them should be held accountable for these environmental atrocities and the devastating health impacts caused by the fires,\u201d said Annisa Rahmawati, Senior Forest Campaigner at Greenpeace Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, more than 900,000 people in Indonesia have suffered acute respiratory infections due to the smoke haze from this year\u2019s fires,[2] and nearly 10 million children are at risk of lifelong physical and cognitive damages due to air pollution.[3] Between 1 January to 22 October 2019, the fires released an estimated 465 megatonnes of CO2, which is close to the UK\u2019s total annual greenhouse gas emissions.[4]<\/p>\n<p>The new findings come as companies gather for the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) meetings in Thailand. This body certifies palm oil as sustainable and \u201cno burning\u201d is a key criteria. Yet more than two-thirds of the producer groups linked to recurrent fires and all of the traders and consumer companies analysed by Greenpeace are RSPO members, some even board members.[5]<\/p>\n<p>Global companies have\u00a0<a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1tolV2R1tPdbQ5JqxrdR3xcmnSUeGOJjs\/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made commitments to stop deforestation by 2020<\/a>, but instead, forest loss has accelerated, and commodity-driven deforestation is the highest driver.[6] Greenpeace recently stepped back from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/southeastasia\/press\/2973\/greenpeace-halts-engagement-with-wilmar-unilever-mondelez-over-continued-failure-to-take-necessary-action-to-cut-deforestation-from-their-supply-chains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a process with Unilever, Mondelez and Wilmar<\/a>\u00a0to create a monitoring platform for Indonesian palm oil due to their repeated failures to take the necessary action to achieve zero deforestation.<\/p>\n<p>Governments around the world have yet to take serious actions against companies or goods linked to the fires.[7] Greenpeace is calling for the companies responsible for and profiting from the fires to be held accountable.[8]<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full report can be accessed\u00a0<a class=\"external-link icon-link pdf-link\" href=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-international-stateless\/2019\/11\/5c8a9799-burning-down-the-house-greenpeace-indonesia-fires-briefing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Photos and Videos can be accessed\u00a0<a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/collection\/27MZIFJ8YCLAC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Notes:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>[1] Traders\u2019 market share is according to the\u00a0<a class=\"external-link icon-link pdf-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cifor.org\/publications\/pdf_files\/OccPapers\/OP-175.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)<\/a>, based on 2015 data.<\/p>\n<p>[2] According to Indonesia\u2019s National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB), as cited in\u00a0<a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.tempo.co\/read\/1251429\/over-900000-people-suffer-from-ispa-due-to-forest-fire-haze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tempo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[3] According to UNICEF, as cited in\u00a0<a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/20190924-indonesian-forest-fires-putting-10-million-children-at-risk-un\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">France24<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[4] Emissions from Indonesia\u2019s forest fires are based on the\u00a0<a class=\"external-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.globalfiredata.org\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED)<\/a>.

Many fires are also within the last remaining habitat of critically endangered orangutans and other vulnerable species.<\/p>\n<p>[5] The producer groups linked to recurrent fires are defined as those linked to more than 250 fire hotspots in 2019 and\/or those linked to the largest burned areas in 2015-2018.\u00a0<a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rspo.org\/publications\/download\/638ae27c7f6b004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Under RSPO rules<\/a>, a group should be a member at a level which covers all of its palm oil operations, therefore a group\u2019s operations are here considered RSPO-linked where any part of the group is currently an RSPO member.

Furthermore, Singaporean and Malaysian governments have also not sanctioned companies, despite the fact that half of the palm oil producers responsible for Indonesia\u2019s 2019 fire hotspots are based in these countries.<\/p>\n<p>[8] For example, Greenpeace is calling on the European Union to pass new laws to ensure that all products, including palm oil, sold on the European market are free from deforestation and related human rights abuses.<\/p>\n<p><b>Contact:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hikmat Soeriatanuwijaya, Media Campaigner, Greenpeace Southeast Asia, Jakarta,\u00a0+62 819 888 829,\u00a0<a class=\"external-link\" href=\"mailto:hikmat.suriatanwijaya@greenpeace.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hikmat.suriatanwijaya@greenpeace.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Reykia Fick, Global Communications Lead \u2013 Forests, Greenpeace Canada, Ottawa +1-819-918-0470,\u00a0<a class=\"external-link\" href=\"mailto:reykia.fick@greenpeace.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reykia.fick@greenpeace.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace International Press Desk, +31 (0)20 718 2470 (available 24 hours), pressdesk.int@greenpeace.org<\/p>\n<p>Follow @greenpeacepress on twitter for our latest international press releases<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-192 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/act\/donate\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/03\/bffe354e-gp04k5b_medium_res_with_credit_line-1024x683.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/03\/bffe354e-gp04k5b_medium_res_with_credit_line-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/03\/bffe354e-gp04k5b_medium_res_with_credit_line-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/03\/bffe354e-gp04k5b_medium_res_with_credit_line-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/03\/bffe354e-gp04k5b_medium_res_with_credit_line-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/03\/bffe354e-gp04k5b_medium_res_with_credit_line.jpg 1200w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\" title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/act\/donate\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDonate\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Donate to Greenpeace today.
