Samsung’s phones are not the only thing catching on fire. A Samsung subsidiary announced last week that it will be forming a joint venture with a Korean-Indonesian agribusiness company called Korindo, which was recently exposed for burning and clearing tens of thousands of hectares of pristine rainforest in Indonesia for palm oil and timber production.
#Samsung can’t handle another PR nightmare right now, as it’s working to build back its reputation following the recall of 2.5 million phones and as its CEO stands trial for massive corruption scandals in South Korea. The last thing Samsung needs is to be caught up in a scandal over palm oil forest destruction and species extinction.
We have to act fast. The dry season is starting up in Indonesia right now, which is when rogue palm oil companies like Korindo set fires to the forest, so we must convince Samsung to take immediate action.
