Nestlé suspended from RSPO for failing to pay dues, submit progress reports

Food and drinks giant Nestlé was suspended from the world’s largest association for ethical palm oil production late last month and can no longer use the group’s stamp of approval to claim its products are sustainable. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has come under frequent criticism for giving its members who violate sustainability rules a pass, but suspended Nestlé for “breaches of the RSPO statues and code of conduct for members.” The RSPO said Nestlé’s suspension was due to its failure to submit a 2016 progress report and for submitting an incomplete report in 2017. It went on to state that Nestlé had also failed to pay its membership fees to the tune of 2,000 euros (about $2,350).
