 After a two-month campaign by Terra! and Rainforest Action Network and
pressure from fashion industry leaders, the US based luxury
packaging company PAK 2000 has announced that they will cut all
financial ties with their majority shareholder, Asia Pulp and Paper
(APP), by the end of 2009.
PAK2000 is a leading supplier of paper bags and packaging products to
fashion brands like Versace, Valentino, Prada and J.Crew, joint the
green side. PAK 2000 was controlled by the Indonesian paper giant Asia
Pulp and Paper (APP), one of the major actors of rainforests
destruction. PAK2000's move gives options to fashion companies seeking
to remove rainforest destruction from their supply chains.
"Indonesia is now the frontier of deforestation and climate change -
said Sergio Baffoni, of Terra! - such a devastation which is not
necessary." Indonesian rainforests are the second largest standing
rainforests left in the world and home to unique species like the
orangutan, Sumatran tiger and the Sun Bear. It's also a win for the
global climate.
