Ensure Your Palm Oil Comes From the Right Sources
Leading global brands have begun to ensure the use of Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) in their products. Palm oil cultivation is linked to numerous human and environmental abuses. In addition to tropical rainforests being cut down, peatlands are drained and burned for the planting of oil palms. Over 100,000 deaths occur yearly in Southeast Asia due to haze exposure from landscape fires such as peat burning. We deliver a solution that ensures you’re sourcing RSPO certified palm oil. We work with your suppliers to get you the information you need. We validate that information and allow you to roll it up into an RSPO compliance report.

The Negative Impacts of Palm Oil Cultivation
Deforestation
As demand for palm oil increases, tropical rainforests are cleared at alarming rates to make way for palm tree plantations.
Climate
10% of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the clearing of tropical rainforests.
Species
Deforestation kills the habitat of many critically endangered species, including orangutans, tigers and elephants.
Human Rights Exploitation
Careless suppliers abuse employee working conditions and human rights to meet rapidly increasing demands for palm oil.
Identify Unethical Palm Oil in Your Supply Chain
Establishing a sustainable palm oil sourcing process in your supply chain is a collaborative effort that takes dedication from both you and your suppliers. Your first step is to determine which suppliers in your supply chain are using palm oil. Once you determine the in scope suppliers, you will need to engage them with the intent of gathering certifications issued by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). RSPO is a multi-stakeholder forum that aims to make sustainable palm oil sourcing the norm. Our award-winning platform streamlines this process and allows for increased supply chain transparency.
We Validate Suppliers Using RSPO Guidelines
To address the issues surrounding palm oil production, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) was founded. RSPO is a nonprofit organization that consists of representatives from all parts of the palm oil supply chain, from growers to sellers of consumer goods, as well as investors and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) concerned by the problems facing palm oil. RSPO has put together a set of criteria addressing environmental and social impacts, through which palm oil growers can become certified as “sustainable”, and has outlined multiple methods by which sustainable palm oil can be incorporated into palm oil supply chains.
