Palm oil is an economic lifeline for many developing tropical countries and a key input for many consumer products globally. Hence the industry must be supported to produce sustainably.

So called “ethically” source palm oil is non existent – please do not buy ANY products with palm oil in it. There was recently an expose involving an “ethical” palm oil grower burning forests to grow MORE palm oil.

As a vegan, and just an animal lover in general, I’m bothered by what’s happened to the orangutans (and all other endangered species) through the coconut oil and palm oil industries. It’s causing me to do a LOT of research and I’m thrilled to discover how wonderful Dr. Bronner’s seems to be so far. Not only do they support organic, fair-trade and sustainable practices, they’ve started them in many instances. Visit their website to find out more, you’ll be impressed and amazed!

I own a 100hectare oil palm plantation in the central region of ghana and would be glad if we could establishment contact to see the way forward.
Kind regards

I’ve seen how orangutans,elephants,rhinos,among other beautiful wildlife are massacred–just for being in their own natural home…..as the makers of palm oil ingredients built factory farms in the rainforest where these animals live. People are paid to murder these innocent animals–those that survive are left motherless and/or homeless.
I bought a Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap without realizing palm oil is one of the first ingredients. When I got home,I noticed palm oil in the ingredients,but certified fair trade. I investigated,and quickly found this article about Dr. Bronner’s certified fair trade palm oil. I couldn’t be more delighted!!!!! I hated the thought that I’d given even one penny to the palm oil industry/the cruel massacre of orangutans and so many other amazing species. I’m thrilled to know I gave money to an alternative method of palm oil production!!!!! NO animals were hurt in the making of my soap!!!!!
This has been written by a passionate vegan!!!!! Thank you Dr. Bronner!!!!!
