This is Oaetker's (owners of the Chicago Town pizza brand) respones to a BBC documentary:
Which of your products contain palm oil or palm kernel oil? All Chicago Town Pizzas currently contain palm oil
How much of that volume is from a sustainable source? Currently none that we are aware of, however the sustainability of future sources is
high on our agenda as part of a wider company initiative regarding the continuity of
supply and volume of raw materials.
Have you set a deadline for when your products will contain only sustainable
palm oil?
No deadlines have been set but again this is high on our agenda
Have you bought any green palm certificates? If so, when did you buy them
and how many?
Not as a business

Those that aren't macheted to death or those that don't have their limbs cut off and can face other appalling treatment.
12m48s - this particular oraganutan is tied to a wall, stomach down on a mattress and sold to customers for sex.
It's absolutely awful what happens to these animals.
