WWF Palm Oil Buyers’ Scorecard 2009

The slow take up of certified sustainable palm oil has led WWF to produce a scorecard assessing the purchasing practices of major European companies that produce or sell everyday consumer products. The attached scorecard provides a good background to the palm oil issue as well as highlighting which companies are making genuine attempts to change their practices.

How Can You Help

There are lots of ways you can support orangutans and help ensure the survival of this precious ape.

Adopt an Orangutan

Orangutans are endangered and at risk of extinction. Habitat destruction results in hundreds of orphaned orangutans, who rely on our care every year. You can help by adopting one. Their dedicated ‘nannies’ teach them everything they need to know for when it’s time to release them back to the wild. You can follow their progress through Forest School.
