It is not true that Astra Agro or its subsidiaries carry out land grabbing,&#8221; Mr Santosa, president director of AAL, told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Nestle was not a direct buyer of products produced by AAL, but most probably bought from its customers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Astra Agro conducts daily physical spot sales, a common practice in the commodity business, so the direct impact of this issue is immaterial,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The European Commission has proposed several laws aimed at preventing and, in the case of forced labour, banning the import and use of products linked to environmental and human rights abuses.<\/p>\n<p>Friends of the Earth said Nestle&#8217;s move to stop sourcing from AAL is an important &#8220;first step&#8221; and renewed its call on consumer majors such as Procter &amp; Gamble, Hershey\u2019s, Kellogg\u2019s, Unilever and PepsiCo to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nestle and other consumer giants now have a monumental opportunity to ensure grievances are redressed, conflicts are resolved, and justice is delivered to communities,&#8221; the environmental group said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] LONDON: Food giant Nestle plans to stop sourcing from subsidiaries of Astra Agro Lestari (AAL), a major Indonesian palm oil producer accused by environmental groups of land and human rights abuses.
