T. Rowe Price has huge investments in companies like Sysco, Tyson, Hormel and Sumitomo Rubber that grow, trade or use palm oil, cattle, rubber and soy in their products but have failed to eliminate deforestation from their operations. This means T. Rowe Price has a key role to play in voting for No Deforestation policies at these companies and engaging with company management to make sure these policies are implemented. In order to do that, T. Rowe Price needs to get its own house in order. Tell T. Rowe Price to adopt a No Deforestation Policy!
