Globally, palm oil is the most widely used vegetable oil, positively contributing towards the economic growth of many developing countries. Consequently, due to the rapid expansion of palm oil plantations, arising challenges have been a result. We are addressing these challenges by:

• Using our role as a global supply chain to our advantage.
• Promoting responsible and sustainable sources of palm oil

Our commitment applies to our entire supply chain network. We continuously strive to improve on the ways we operate on a daily basis, and to do this we will focus on:

• Evaluating our palm oil use
• Setting formalised sustainable policies to support and guide all stakeholders
• Requesting suppliers to identify the use of derivatives in our ingredients
