Save Rang-tan. End dirty palm oil.

• "Iceland to be first UK supermarket to cut palm oil from own-brand products", The Guardian, Apr 10, 2018

• "Iceland's Christmas TV advert banned for being too political", The Guardian, Nov 9, 2018

Why was Iceland's Christmas advert banned from TV?

Iceland's Christmas advert has been banned from television before even being broadcast after it was deemed "too political" for highlighting the impact of palm oil production.

One of the stipulations enshrined in the broadcast code for advertising practice (BCAP), is that an ad is prohibited if it is “directed towards a political end”.

The supermarket launched its Christmas campaign on social media with a video highlighting the environmental destruction caused by the oil's production.

Save Rang-tan

Dedicated to the 25 orangutans we lose every day.

Shame on you, humans.
