Palm oil is widely used for a variety of reasons and is one of the most productive crops per hectare compared to alternatives. That said, we regularly review our raw materials to ensure we are using the most appropriate raw materials to deliver the quality required across our range of biscuits and snacks. At pladis, we take the sourcing of all our raw materials seriously. We have been a member of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) since 2008 and have been using 100% oil palm supporting the RSPO sustainability programme. As a responsible business, we need to continue to support the industry on its transformation journey. In addition to purchasing RSPO-certified palm oil, pladis embarked on a partnership with The Earthworm Foundation in 2018 to improve traceability back to oil palm mills to then assess supplier compliance with pladis’ No Deforestation policy.
