Wilmar International Ltd. , the world's largest palm oil processor, opened its supply chains to outside scrutiny on Thursday in what environmentalists called an unprecedented step to help safeguard tropical forests. Singapore-based Wilmar said it would give outsiders, from customers to environmentalists worried about deforestation, access to online maps showing where it buys palm oil at more than 800 mills in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Danone pledged to develop a fully traceable palm oil supply chain with no links to deforestation. The company will work with the Forest Trust to map its entire palm oil supply chain by the end of 2015.
