Nestle also drops Sinar Mas Group

Nestle SA has followed Unilever in dropping Sinar Mas Group from the list of palm oil supplier after Greenpeace called on the world's largest food producer to cut ties with the company controlled by Eka Tjipta Widjaja family, Bloomberg reported an hour ago.

According to the report, Nestle replaced Sinar Mas with an unidentified supplier. Earlier on Wednesday, Greenpeace published a report saying Sinar Mas has unlawfully destroyed rain forests to set up palm oil plantations, Bloomberg reported.
