Full Traceability Is Possible
As palm oil supply chains are complex with many actors involved, traceability is important to assess risks. It becomes even more important with the European Council’s agreed mandatory due diligence rules to tackle deforestation “for all operators and traders who place, make available or export the following products from the EU market: palm oil, beef, timber, coffee, cocoa and soy”.
Tracing back ingredients to its source is a means to an end, not an end in itself. The goal is to drive impact on the ground: preventing deforestation and habitat loss, and ensuring rights are respected. A lot of efforts have been put into supply chain mapping. It remains challenging though, to get a full overview of the networks that make up a supply hub.
We provide full traceability in our supply chain. Here is how we do it and why.
Ensuring clean ingredients
Traceability is the ability to identify and follow the movement of a product’s ingredient through all stages of production, processing, and distribution. It means knowing the sources of your ingredients, and where and how a product was produced. Through our traceability system, we offer manufacturers, retailers and consumers full transparency around where and how their ingredients and products are produced.
