Thousands of palmoil plantations not certefied (yet)

Bericht door Eddy M » ma mar 03, 2014 6:08 am

With eight months to go before the deadline, only 40 out of thousands of oil-palm plantations have secured a government-issued certificate on sustainability. Stakeholders in the industry urged the government to roll back the deadline for the certification, as many companies were confronted by logistical and legal issues.

As of January, about 40 of the roughly 2,500 plantations had received certification and another 153 had applied for it at the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil Commission (ISPO)

The ISPO certification is an acknowledgement that a plantation has complied with the laws and regulations on sustainable production.
