Subscribe Greenpeace slams certification schemes, inciting criticism: ‘The NGO is using palm oil as cannon-fodder to sway EU lawmakers’ By Flora Southey The environmental NGO says many certification schemes – covering palm, soy, and timber – enable ‘destructive business to continue as usual’.

This is the premise of Greenpeace’s ‘Destruction: Certified’ report, published earlier this week, which analysed certification labels on cocoa, coffee, biofuels, palm oil, soy and wood.
