palm oil

There's conventional palm oil and there's palm oil that is sustainably cultivated and processed. While the former has been known to cause social and environmental issues, the latter works towards countering these issues

While unsustainable palm oil cultivation is responsible for damage to the environment, when produced sustainably, it can halt deforestation, conserve biodiversity, improve the livelihood of smallholders and reduce the exploitation of indigenous communities.

Did you know? Unsustainable production of palm oil is clouded in controversy and often associated with deforestation and a threat to tropical biodiverse areas, endangering species like the orangutan, Sumatran tiger, rhinoceros, and many others. #KnowYourPalm

“It is important to raise awareness of unsustainable and sustainable palm oil production. One customer at a time, we can create the change.”

It is our responsibility as consumers to only buy products that contain sustainably sourced and produced palm oil. The first step in doing so is to recognise the use of palm oil in your product’s ingredients list. #KnowYourPalm

Did you know, globally, each of us use and consume up to 8 kilos of palm oil annually? Where? In our food, our cosmetics, and other items we use daily.

Palm oil is everywhere - from lipstick to chocolate. But are deforestation free supply chains possible, and what can you do to support it?

From our bread to our toothpaste, palm oil is everywhere. But we are paying a deadly price for a replaceable product. Let's buy sensibly.
