Well when I was working on the palm oil campaign a few years ago (as a volunteer - no vested interest!) there was no sustainable palm oil available. There was the roundtable but it is basically greenwash because it has no auditing system and no consequences. I have heard recently that there is a sustainable source. But I still don't know who it is and have my doubts. I was told this by an Australian company 'using' the oil but they wouldn't tell me the company name and then when I asked where it exactly came from and they changed their story (it had originally been Australian and now it was Malaysian and they couldn't guarantee it didn't come from previously forested areas). But I can email the lead campaigner if you like and see what the current situation is?
