APRIL Disputes RAN's Statement on Disney

The Rainforest Action Network (RAN) issued a media release on 11 October, 2012, claiming that The Walt Disney Company had "cut ties" to APRIL following changes to its Paper Sourcing and Use Policy. Disney's own announcement on its paper sourcing policy did not mention APRIL and to our knowledge, APRIL does not directly sell paper to Disney and has never done so.
Both the RAN announcement and the Disney announcement mentioned that Disney's new sourcing policy was designed to have particular impact on Indonesia.
