Reports have projected that the famous 'KitKat' chocolate bar has been blamed to cause a threat to rainforests and endangered orangutans, according to a campaign launched yesterday by Greenpeace International.
The campaign warns that well-liked chocolate bars like KitKat and Coffee Crisp use palm oil from Sinar Mas, which is one of the largest forestry companies in Indonesia.
The provider functions in areas where rainforests and peatlands are being substituted by palm tree plantations which abolishes natural environment and decreases carbon dioxide sinks that aid to keep the air fresh and brawl global warming.
Within few hours Nestle responded saying, "We will continue to pressure our suppliers to eliminate any sources of palm oil which are related to rainforest destruction". They also said, "We will not portray palm oil as free of such oils unless such guarantees are clear and reliable".
According to Greenpeace Canada senior campaigner Stephanie Goodwin, the environmental group is only encouraging the industry to build up advanced standards to make sure manufacture is sustainable.
It has been reported that Nestle is still going to use using palm oil from Sinar Mas in KitKats provided by other suppliers.
The Greenpeace campaign is said to carry on until Nestlé slashes the Sinar Mas from its group of suppliers.
