Palm oil certification is a green lie
For decades, the palm oil industry, backed by the RSPO, has misled consumers with the false promise of “sustainable” palm oil. Behind this green façade lies a brutal reality of deforestation, human rights abuses, and the destruction of endangered species’ habitats. Dozens of investigations from many different industry watchdogs have exposes the RSPO’s certification as a sham, enabling continued environmental devastation under the guise of sustainability.

Read on to discover the examples of greenwashing deception from these industries, so that you don’t fall for their corporate greenwashing.

Indonesia’s lax laws ignore animal trafficking
When Indonesian prosecutors went after the leader of an illegal wildlife syndicate operating near the Malacca Strait, they relied on the country’s then relatively new 2019 Quarantine Act to seek a prison sentence.
After being connected to the illegal smuggling of four lion cubs, a leopard, and 58 species of Indian Star tortoises from Malaysia to Indonesia, Irawan Shia received a four-year prison sentence and fine of IDR 1 billion (USD$65,468). If the fine is not paid, the replacement is three months imprisonment.
The sentence was the biggest ever handed out, but falls far short of what it could have been had Indonesia brought its laws in line with global conventions.

Deforestation returns despite 140 nation vow to end ecocide
A new report has found that demand for #meat, #soy, #palmoil and nickel #mining is hindering efforts to halt #deforestation by 2030, a global report finds. The destruction of global forests increased in 2023, and is higher than when 140 countries promised three years ago to halt deforestation by the end of the decade.
The rising destruction of the forests puts ambitions to halt #climatechange and stem the huge worldwide #extinction even further from reach, the researchers warn. They found that voluntary certification of commodities alone could not stop deforestation and that strong legislation was needed to stop the ecocide and destruction.
