Grown on massive plantations in tropical nations, mainly Malaysia and Indonesia, Palm Oil has been associated with rainforest destruction, threatened extinctions of animals, including orangutans, huge increases in greenhouse gas emissions, and gross human rights and labor violations.Focusing on reducing market demand for environmentally and socially irresponsible palm oil products and transforming global supply chains, our rainforest agribusiness campaign creates the market leverage necessary to improve corporate behavior and make change happen on the ground. 1024115 88377 CLIMATE & ENERGY CAMPAIGNCLIMATE CHANGE IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT FACING OUR PLANET. BURNING FOSSIL FUELS POLLUTES THE ATMOSPHERE WITH GREENHOUSE GASES, LEADING TO SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE PLANET'S ECOSYSTEMS, INCLUDING FORESTS, AND TO EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS, BOTH OF WHICH HIT THE WORLD'S POOREST HARDEST. THERE IS SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS THAT WE NEED TO CUT GLOBAL GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS IF WE ARE TO AVOID CATASTROPHIC CLIMATE CHANGE.RAN'S ENERGY FINANCE CAMPAIGN HAS FOCUSED ON PUSHING THE BIGGEST BANKS IN THE U.S. TO END THEIR UNDERWRITING OF FOSSIL FUELS, THE LARGEST U.S. CONTRIBUTORS TO CLIMATE CHANGE, WHILE ENGAGING, SUPPORTING AND STRENGTHENING THE MOVEMENT OF GRASSROOTS ACTIVISTS TAKING ACTION FOR THE CLIMATE. 734654 100924 RAINFOREST FREE PAPER CAMPAIGNThe pulp and paper industry, led by Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) and Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL), is perhaps the leading threat to the remaining large forests in Sumatra and some of Indonesia's largest intact peatlands. Pulp from cleared rainforests is made into cheap copy paper, books, tissue and toilet paper, and luxury shopping bags that are then sold to consumers in the United States, Europe, and Asia.RAN's rainforest-free paper campaign is pushing corporations and the Indonesian government to declare a moratorium on converting forests and peatlands to paper plantations. Working with partners in the U.S., Indonesia, and around the world, our campaign is creating the market leverage necessary to improve corporate practices and transform global supply chains. 2296373 Forest ProgramRainforest Action Network and Financial Program works in the financial sector to create real change on the ground. We run strategic campaigns with the support of our network, to move banks to stop investing in companies engaged in deforestation, habitat destruction, species extinction, climate pollution and human rights violations. 2296373 5786882 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 81 0 1 59 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA AL AK AZ AR CO CT FL GA IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS MO NH NJ NM NY NC OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X X Noel Natividad COO 4153984404 425 Bush Street No 300 San Francisco CA 94108 Anna Hawken Board Chair 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Andre Carothers Chair Emeritus 4.00 X X 0 0 0 James D Gollin President 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Jodie Evans Vice Chair 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott B Price Treasurer 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Anna Lappe Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Allan Badiner Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Deepa Isac Director, Governance 2.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Northrop Director, Development 2.00 X 0 0 0 Marcela Penanac Director, Finance Committee 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lindsey Allen Executive Director 40.00 X 156416 0 10882 Noel Natividad COO 40.00 X 128494 0 18777 Jeri Howland Development Director 40.00 X 110306 0 10529 395216 0 40188 3 0 1 0 RWT Production LLC 8932 Orange Hunt Lane Annandale VA 22003 Printing and Postage Services 115265 1 72813 486614 6301350 82048 6860777 1228 1228 540130 72813 231130 309000 309000 7171005 0 0 310228 X 34114 34114 305927 305927 320338 261540 13657 45141 2838387 2247287 158862 432238 45717 37725 1589 6403 476627 390043 17705 68879 274796 224876 10208 39712 8591 8591 25209 25209 918486 809993 15650 92843 693211 449843 243368 196779 126024 8356 62399 75031 69823 659 4549 271273 217066 10546 43661 356384 346256 71 10057 83294 73826 2283 7185 10511 8602 390 1519 17563 6332 10138 1093 Pubs, Subsc & Mrmbrshp 110168 96110 1363 12695 Software Lease 31667 25856 1349 4462 Employee Develop/Traini 24912 18614 2720 3578 Miscellaneous 22749 21793 172 784 20676 6641 347 13688 7162410 5786882 281274 1094254 X 124411 106905 0 17506 3893789 1912625 1707501 1667550 1780316 2171 14397 85318 66553 137421 118981 10542 18440 250000 47870 47870 5707240 5797702 35277 43273 5000 332591 401462 367868 449735 X 3025766 2464201 2313606 2883766 5339372 5347967 5707240 5797702 8595 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4134435 8240104 4579762 7877879 6860777 31692957 4134435 8240104 4579762 7877879 6860777 31692957 4834221 26858736 -29120 1283 533 649 1228 -25427 512805 71157 41615 76890 540130 1242597 32910127 729792 0.81610 0.77050 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 45696 27256 18440 91725 91725 0 18440 Accrued Payroll Liabilities 280619 Other Accrued Liabilities 120843 401462 X 7580575 409570 409570 7171005 0 7171005 7571980 409570 409570 7162410 0 7162410 Part X, Line 2: RAN HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND SECTION 23701D OF THE CALIFORNIA REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE AND GENERALLY IS NOT SUBJECT TO STATE OR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.
