University of Michigan research questions RSPO sustainable palm oil from Guatemala
Original: @UMich # research finds “sustainable” # RSPO # palmoil sourced in # Guatemala 🇬🇹 NOT sustainable, yet it’s sold this way
University of Michigan research reportedly finds palm oil in Guatemala certified as sustainable under the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) fails to meet sustainability standards. The findings point to links with deforestation and human rights abuses, while the oil continues to be sold to consumers as sustainable. Campaigners are calling for a boycott of palm oil and greater scrutiny of certification schemes.
Why now: New academic research challenges the credibility of the RSPO's sustainability certification amid concerns over deforestation and human rights.
