Conserving 加蓬’s Cultural Heritage
A treasure trove of 14th century artefacts was discovered deep within a conservation area of 推荐买球平台’s palm plantation in 加蓬.
Our 可持续棕榈油 Policy and our Living Landscapes Policy set out our commitment and vision for oil palm plantations to coexist with 自然 ecosystems and communities in carefully planned and managed landscapes, and ultimately to have a net positive impact.
We're fully supportive of the Roundtable on 可持续棕榈油 (RSPO). All of our concessions are RSPO certified making us the largest fully certified company in 非洲. This supports: no deforestation of high carbon stock (HCS) or high conservation value (HCV) forests and ecosystems, no development of peatland, zero burning and responsible labour practices, and respects the rights of local communities.
Through our 棕榈仪表板 we chart the progress we’ve made against our roadmap of commitments detailed in the 可持续棕榈油 Policy. This is published on a quarterly basis.
Our palm oil from our 加蓬 plantations is fully traceable and produced under RSPO defined terms. For our third-party sourcing of palm oil we are working with our third-party suppliers to ensure they uphold our commitments under our 可持续棕榈油 Policy. We prioritise buying from RSPO members, and 90 percent of our palm oil is sourced from suppliers who are RSPO members.
Managing palm plantations in a biodiversity rich country like 加蓬 requires extensive efforts to support and safeguard the country’s 自然 heritage.
