Deforestation Action Overview

The world's forests don't just provide benefits to animals and communities — they're known as the lungs of the planet and a critical part of the solution to climate change. We know we have a big impact on the world and a responsibility to make sure we do right for the many landscapes and communities where we work and live. We source some of our key ingredients from heavily forested countries, and we are taking bold action to stop deforestation and its impact on local communities.
