Greenpeace has new evidence proving that Sinar Mas
\ncontinues to destroy peatlands and rainforests, pushing
\norang-utans closer to the brink of extinction and
\naccelerating climate change.Sinar Mas is the largest palm oil producer in Indonesia, supplying many food and cosmetic companies worldwide, including Nestl\u00e9 via traders like Cargill. It has a long history of breaking its environmental commitments, both in the palm oil and the pulp and paper-sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

Executive summary:<\/b> Most recently, on 4 February 2010, Sinar Mas sent a letter
\nto its stakeholders stating that PT SMART, one of its subsidiaries and a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, would stop clearing on peatlands and in High Conservation Value (HCV) Areasii, following the release of Greenpeace\u2019s December 2009 report Illegal Forest Clearance and RSPO Greenwash: Case studies of Sinar Mas.<\/p>\n

One of the report\u2019s documented examples of illegal forest
\nclearance features a concession owned by PT Agro Lestari
\nMandiri (PT ALM) in Ketapang District,West Kalimantan.<\/p>\n

Greenpeace has new evidence from the field, showing that Sinar Mas continued to clear peatlands and orang-utan
\nhabitat in its PT ALM concession, despite its commitment
\nto stop (see satellite maps in report).<\/p>\n

This, in addition to its past actions, shows companies like Cargill and Nestle\u0301, that Sinar Mas\u2019 palm oil commitments cannot be trusted.<\/p>\n
