Do you check the label of your favorite brand products?

With the focus on the “#SayItOnTheWrapper” campaign Palm Done Right encourages brands to provide clear labeling on packages and have an open conversation with their consumers explaining why they choose palm oil for their products, and why they will continue to use it. PDR partners understand the importance of buying palm oil from sustainable sources and provide transparency, clear labeling, and consumer education.

“One of the best ways for consumers to both educate themselves and keep the pressure on producers and retailers is to ask questions. If you’re unsure about the ingredients in your product or where they came from, don’t be afraid to enquire – and use the power and reach of social media to ensure they respond to you,” advises Monique van Wijnbergen, Sustainability and Corporate Communications Director of Natural Habitats, which created the PDR philosophy.
