Greenpeace is leading a campaign calling on the supermarket to drop forest-destroying suppliers from their food chain.
Greenpeace campaigner outside the Tesco branch in Summertown Greenpeace volunteer Janet Budd, from Cumnor Hill, said:
‘‘We’ve given Tesco plenty of time to respond to our demand to drop forest destroyers from their supply chain, and replace half the meat Tesco sells with plant-based food by 2025. But so far they don’t seem to be getting the message that industrial meat is bad for our planet. That’s why Greenpeace volunteers in Oxfordshire decided to give CEO Ken Murphy a friendly reminder that Tesco meat equals deforestation outside two branches in Abingdon, and in Kidlington, Headington, Summertown and Abingdon Road, Oxford.
