This year, we have once again successfully passed the annual audit in accordance with the standards of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). This renewed confirmation underlines our commitment to fairness and sustainability in the procurement of palm oil raw materials. Our customers can therefore continue to trust that they are receiving products from us that originate from responsible cultivation.
Since October 2016, we have been a proud member of the RSPO and uphold the requirements and intentions of the RSPO Supply Chain Certification System (SCCS). This standard not only ensures compliance with the highest environmental and social standards, but also serves as a guide for ethical business practices in the palm oil industry.
In the past few years, palm oil consumption has risen continuously worldwide. In Indonesia, over 45 million tonnes of palm oil were harvested in 2023 from an area of 13.8 million hectares. This made Indonesia by far the world’s leading producer of palm oil. We are aware of the far-reaching impact of monocultures and huge oil palm plantations on ecosystems in South America, Africa and Southeast Asia..deforestation practices not only damage the rainforest, but also displace animal species, destroy plant species and often result in the disrespect of
land use rights. As a direct consequence of deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions increase significantly due to the loss of CO2-binding biomass. Our goal is to promote the sustainable cultivation of palm oil and to actively oppose the negative effects of reckless plantation management.
To gain a deeper insight into our efforts and the background to RSPO certification, we recommend our detailed blog post to read about this topic.
With your support, we are committed to a more sustainable future and proving that we deliver not only products, but also responsibility. Thank you for your trust in our commitment to fairness, environmental protection and social responsibility.
