We are delighted that we received notification of the annual renewal right at the start of 2021. our RSPO certification This means that our customers can continue to rely on us to supply raw materials made from palm oil that has been produced fairly and sustainably.
The comprehensive audit took place in December 2020. Once again, the auditors highlighted our exemplary documentation and smooth cooperation.
RSPO certification of our palm oil is not only important to us as a selling point. Monocultures and huge oil palm plantations are destroying large areas of rainforest in South America, Africa and South-East Asia. This ruthless cultivation has a major impact on the plants, animals and indigenous peoples that live there.
However, the oil palm is also the most productive plant. A single hectare of oil palms can yield many times more natural oil than any other plant. For this reason, it is unfortunately still not possible to completely do without it.
This makes it all the more important for us to ensure that palm oil is grown sustainably when we import and process it. For more details on this topic, we recommend reading our blog post on the subject. RSPO – Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and their background.
