I have really big news to share with you: Indonesia’s largest food company, Indofood, was SANCTIONED by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the world’s largest certification system for “sustainable” palm oil.
Why is it being penalized? Indofood has been consistently exploiting workers on its plantations.
RAN and our partners first revealed these abuses two years ago, but after years of dragging its heels, the RSPO has finally acted to discipline Indofood by suspending the “sustainability” certificates of the plantations where the abuses were documented and requiring a corrective action plan.
This is a critical step towards justice for workers who face dangerous, oppressive, and illegal working conditions on Indofood’s plantations.
