Greenpeace's Role in The Protests Towards Nestlé From Buying Palm Oil From Sinar Mas Group 2008-2015

Abstract

Environmental damage due to deforestation for the sake of obtaining forest products has had a negative impact on the environment and its contents. It is the Sinar Mas Group as a supplier of palm oil that is deforesting in order to be able to plant palm oil, but the actions taken by the Sinar Mas Group are supported by Nestle because they buy palm oil in large quantities to make their famous products, one of which is KitKat. Greenpeace took various actions to stop Nestle from buying unsustainable palm oil. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the role played by Greenpeace in the movements carried out by Greenpeace in its protest against Nestle, analyze what has been done by Nestle and the Sinar Mas Group in deforestation and to understand the importance of the environment for all living things on earth. This analysis is based on the Green Political theory by Matthew Paterson where there are 4 indicators regarding Green Political Theory.
