Notes
The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) was established cin 2004 to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm oil products. The RSPO has been criticised especially by environmental NGOs due to the continuing impact of palm oil plantations on orangutan populations and the destruction of tropical rainforests. The Rainforest Action Network said, “If the RSPO fails to reform its auditing, compliance and grievance systems it will continue to be a certification scheme criticized for greenwashing unsustainable practices.”
