International food giant, Nestle, has agreed to stop buying palm oil from suppliers who are contributing to deforestation.
The company said it would identify and exclude suppliers which is said to be a huge victory for campaigners, who accused Nestle of hastening the decline of the orang-utan.
Greenpeace has been running a campaign encouraging consumers to contact Nestle, calling for an end in the use of palm oil.
A statement from the pressure group stated that "we didn't expect Nestle to come up with such a comprehensive 'zero deforestation' policy so quickly."
