What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Investigations found links between a Singapore-listed palm oil producer and major deforesters in Borneo. Shipping records suggest that crude palm oil linked to deforestation is entering global supply chains marketed as sustainable. Furthermore, Rainforest Action Network claims the firm misled Singapore’s stock exchange regarding common ownership. The firm denies these claims and is currently facing an investigation by Singapore’s environment agency for links to transboundary haze.
