Rainforest Action Network Responds to Asia Pulp and Paper’s New Forest Commitments Read more: Rainforest Action Network: (USA) Controversial Singapore-based paper giant, Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), today announced a new "Forest Conservation Policy” to undertake environmental and social reforms to its business practices. "Though we welcome APP's new rainforest commitments as a milestone, the hidden story here is the controversial paper giant’s long history of broken promises, land conflicts and human rights violations across its operations,” said Lafcadio Cortesi, Asia Director for Rainforest Action Network. “APP will not be seen as a responsible company in the marketplace until its new commitments are implemented and resolve the devastating rainforest and human rights crises it has caused in Indonesia."
