Pledged to take action on palm oil

UK supermarket Morrisons has announced that it is to take part in international efforts to combat the issues surrounding palm oil procurement, following a widespread campaign. The development means that each of the UK’s major supermarkets have now pledged to take action on palm oil, through the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
