Multiple consumer goods companies have suspended sourcing from the palm oil producer First Resources in the wake of an investigation by The Gecko Project. But others are facing criticism for failing to deal with evidence of deforestation in their supply chains by delegating responsibility to their suppliers or an industry certification scheme.

First Resources, a Singapore-listed palm oil producer, made a public commitment to keep forests standing in 2015. But The Gecko Project’s investigation, published last November as part of a collaboration with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, found evidence suggesting that First Resources has secretly controlled a network of “shadow” companies that have cleared tens of thousands of hectares of Indonesian rainforest.

As beneficial ownership transparency efforts stall, the owners behind Mayawana Persada, Industrial Forest Plantation, New Borneo Agri and the Bornean mega-mills have been able to continue operating in secret. But compelling these companies to disclose their owners could save thousands of hectares of tropical rainforest – including orangutan habitat – that remain standing in their concessions. If it turns out that “sustainable” companies do ultimately control these companies, they will be unable to clear that forest without losing access to markets and green finance.

Transparency over beneficial ownership could save vast areas of tropical rainforest. Until then, secrecy jurisdictions will continue to play a key role in exacerbating the climate crisis.
