A Korean palm oil giant has been rejected from the world s leading green certification body in the wake of a BBC investigation.
The BBC had earlier found evidence that the Korindo group had been buying up swathes of Asia s largest remaining rainforests in the remote Indonesian province of Papua.
A visual analysis suggested that fires had then been deliberately set to these forests, a clear violation of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
The regulator s tree logo - found on paper products throughout the UK and Europe - is meant to tell consumers the product is sourced from ethical and sustainable companies.
