Why go palm oil free this Christmas?

---

RSPO “sustainable” palm oil is a greenwashing lie that is created by the industry to promote itself, it is not effective to eradicate human rights abuses, deforestation, violent landgrabbing and more.

100 human rights NGOS recently issued a statement denoucing the RSPO in late November 2022.

Today, we find that nothing has changed. While the area of land under RSPO-certified oil palm plantations has continued to grow, the RSPO has continued to be a great deception.

Farm Land Grab, Public Statement of 100 Environmental and Human Rights NGOS, Published December 1, 2022.
