Greenpeace a particulièrement en ligne de mire Wilmar International – le plus gros négociant d’huile de palme au monde. Ce trader basé à Singapour, qui représente 43 % du marché, est certifié RSPO depuis 2005. Il avait suscité beaucoup d’espoir en 2013 en s’engageant à cesser « toute déforestation, toute destruction de tourbière, toute exploitation humaine », et en respectant notamment le droit des communautés locales. Las, Wilmar est le principal client de 18 des producteurs mis en cause dans ce rapport.

Guatemalan palm oil company called Reforestadora de Palmas AC (REPSA) was charged with corruption last week in a high-profile investigation of systemic tax fraud in Guatemala. As of this writing, the REPSA executives named in the case are considered “fugitives from justice” by CICIG, the UN-backed anti-impunity body in charge of the case. REPSA, which supplies palm oil to the global market, is among a group of companies that the investigative website Plaza Publica calls “a cartel of millionaire influence traffickers”.

Among the global companies that are known or believed to have business links to REPSA and its owner, Grupo HAME, are agribusiness traders Cargill and Wilmar — both of which suspended purchasing from REPSA just last month — as well as a number of consumer goods companies that include Nestle, Pepsico, and Mexico’s Grupo Bimbo.

Wilmar appeals RSPO ruling that it grabbed indigenous lands in Sumatra

On Jan. 1, the world’s largest association for ethical palm oil production found that Wilmar International had violated the rights of the indigenous Kapa community of West Sumatra, Indonesia, when the company obtained its land to plant oil palm on it. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) also approved a plan that, if implemented, would allow the Kapa to retain control of their customary territory.

But now, following an appeal by Wilmar stating that it has found possible breaches in the complaint-handling process within the RSPO, that decision may be in jeopardy.

The initial ruling, that Singapore-based #Wilmar had violated community rights and RSPO rules when it tried to take out a Land Use Rights (HGU) permit over Kapa land, signaled progress in the long-running dispute between the palm oil giant and the indigenous group. Based on the advice of an independent consultant, the #RSPO’s Complaints Panel also recommended that the disputed land should be remeasured for development approval with better community participation. This recommendation was intended to give the Kapa more clarity on which lands were taken over by Wilmar, and how to re-allocate the land between Wilmar’s core estate and smallholdings for Kapa people, which would allow them to glean some benefit from Wilmar’s presence in their territory.

Au cours de l’année 2013, plusieurs grandes multinationales qui constituaient des cibles traditionnelles des #ONG, comme Coca-Cola, le géant de l’huile de palme Wilmar ou le forestier APP, ont annoncé en fanfare qu’elles se convertissaient à des politiques d’approvisionnement responsable. Pour Yale Environment 360, le journaliste Fred Pearce dresse le profil de The Forest Trust (TFT), une petite firme de consultance qui aide ces grands groupes mal famés à rendre leurs pratiques plus durables - et (...)
