The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has sanctioned Korean-Indonesian conglomerate Korindo for clearing tropical forests in Indonesia to produce palm oil. Although the Korindo Group isn\u2019t being expelled from the certification scheme, the company must rapidly improve its forestry operations to meet FSC standards.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

FSC\u2019s investigation was prompted when the environmental nonprofit group Mighty Earth filed a complaint two years ago saying that the Korindo Group companies violated the FSC\u2019s Policy of Association by exceeding the 10,000 hectares deforestation threshold across its oil palm operations over the previous five years.<\/p>\n

Satellite imagery analysis that Mighty Earth commissioned for eight Korindo concessions in Papua and North Maluku, Indonesia found more than 30,000 hectares of deforestation and 900 fire hotspots since 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy carrying out large scale deforestation, destroying critical wildlife habitat and violating traditional and human rights, Korindo was flouting FSC standards and threatened to make a mockery of the FSC\u2019s prestigious label,\u201d said Deborah Lapidus, senior campaigns director at Mighty Earth.<\/p>\n

Last week the Forest Stewardship Council said that the company\u2019s activities weren\u2019t in full compliance with FSC\u2019s Policy for Association, and Korindo\u2019s practice of free prior and informed consent (FPIC) didn\u2019t align with the council\u2019s requirements for FPIC.<\/p>\n

Korindo agreed to collaborate with FSC to improve environmental and social performance, and to remedy their effects on the forests, according to the council. \u201cThe process resulting from this commitment will be as rigorous as any process for ending disassociation from FSC, but faster in achieving positive change,\u201d the council concluded.<\/p>\n

Mighty Earth criticized the council\u2019s decision not to release investigation details. \u201cOnly a full, unbiased disclosure of Korindo\u2019s wrongdoing can make it possible for the effectiveness of their remediation measures to be assessed,\u201d the nonprofit argued.<\/p>\n

FSC indicated that they plan to monitor the company\u2019s progress closely.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
