‘We are on a learning journey that goes beyond the baseline for responsible palm oil’: Ferrero updates Palm Oil Charter
By Katy Askew
Ferrero has updated its Palm Oil Charter to ‘go beyond’ what it says is a ‘baseline’ for sustainable palm oil sourcing. This means new commitments on human rights, environmental protection and supplier transparency.
Ferrero launched its first Palm Oil Charter in 2013 to tackle deforestation and social issues in its palm oil supply chain. This public commitment on sustainable palm oil focused on ensuring supplies were 100% RSPO certified segregated sustainable palm oil that could be traced back to plantations. It required suppliers to not clear High Carbon Stock forests, use fire to clear land or plant on peat soils.
