The Singapore Environment Council restricted the green label certification for products from Indonesian paper firm Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) on Sunday. This action followed evidence linking three of APP’s wood-fibre suppliers in Indonesia to fires contributing to haze affecting Singapore. APP has responded, stating the restrictions do not constitute a full suspension, but rather a temporary measure. The company has not provided a timeline for when the restrictions might be lifted, pending further investigation and remedial action. The haze, a recurring issue in the region, stems from land clearing practices in Indonesia. The Council's decision highlights increasing pressure on companies to ensure sustainable sourcing and address environmental impacts across their supply chains.
