RSPO : incapable, depuis 14 ans, d’éliminer la violence et la destruction générées par l’industrie de l’huile de palme

The document argues that the RSPO serves as a tool for 'greenwashing' the palm oil industry, masking systemic human rights violations and deforestation. It asserts that the RSPO's certification principles support a destructive industrial model based on large-scale monocultures, land grabbing, and labour exploitation. The authors call for government moratoria on plantation expansion, a reduction in palm oil demand, and the promotion of agroecology and community land rights.

• The RSPO has failed to transform the industrial palm oil sector into a sustainable market, instead providing a cover for companies to hide human rights violations and environmental destruction while expanding profits.
• The industrial palm oil production model relies on several destructive practices: large-scale monocultures replacing biodiversity-rich tropical forests, high-yield plants requiring excessive water and pesticides, precarious labour conditions, and the violent seizure of community lands.
• The RSPO's certification principles are viewed as structurally flawed because they do not address the industry's dependence on exclusive control of vast fertile lands or its inherent growth paradigm.
• Despite RSPO claims regarding Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) and complaint procedures, the document asserts that projects often proceed without community consent and that the complaint process is complex and biased toward companies.
• Corporate control of the industry remains dominant; in 2016, 99.6% of production was controlled by companies, and 88% of certified palm oil came from corporate plantations.
