The company receiving the certification &#8211; United Plantations, a supplier of companies such as Nestl\u00e9 and Unilever &#8211; is violating RSPO rules and destroying vulnerable peatland forests of Kalimantan in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>These findings underscore the need for more aggressive action by the RSPO and other palm oil producing and consuming companies.
