All palm oil produced by our companies is fully traceable. We source bunches of fresh fruit from our plantations, from carefully selected suppliers, and from known and documented sources. We do not have small producers.

We buy the fruit directly from agricultural producing companies, without the participation of intermediaries. This mechanism provides us with transparency in our supply chain: the more direct the supply chain, the better.

Due to the way of production of the region the region, there are no small producers and purchases are made through completely independent companies, which form their own production policies. From the year 2020 we have created a fruit purchase protocol with a requirement that our suppliers comply with the rules of no deforestation, no peat plantations and no exploitation established in the Group’s NDPE Policy.

In April 2021, we strengthened our Sustainability Policy, which seeks the production of sustainable palm oil throughout the supply chain. The application and compliance with the policy extends to companies owned by the Group, as well as suppliers and members of the supply chain. As part of the due diligence process, a plan was established to raise awareness and sign the commitment of the policy by the suppliers that is in the process of being implemented.

Due to its liquid nature, palm oil cannot be traced as a solid object, however the methods used comprise the scope of the RSPO chain of custody standard, meeting the highest industry standards.
