SOS and Lush have been working together for over 15 years to make a lasting impact on the future for Sumatra’s rainforests and its orangutans. In 2019 Lush created an orangutan soap to raise funds to help secure and restore a decommissioned palm oil plantation back to flourishing rainforest. To support their ethical sourcing policy, Lush now sources lemongrass from permaculture smallholdings in Sumatra. In 2022 Lush used this lemongrass along with Sumatran dark patchouli to create a limited edition orangutan bath bomb, sold across the globe to raise funds and awareness of the need to ensure connectivity in the rainforest landscape at West Toba so its remaining Sumatran orangutan population has enough space to move, feed and breed into the future.

Edrington also helps to support the Leuser Nature School so primary age children can learn about the value of the rainforest for biodiversity and orangutans!
