October 12, 2022 EcoVadis EN


A new report has found that Europe is by far the largest consumer of sustainable palm oil in the world, accounting for 45% of total global use of RSPO certified sustainable palm oil.

Jointly commissioned by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), European Palm Oil Alliance (EPOA) and IDH - The Sustainable Trade Initiative, the report, Sustainable Palm Oil: Europe's business - fact, analysis and actions to leverage impact, presents an in-depth analysis of the current trends and developments in the European palm oil market and supply chain.

Key Findings
By reaching 93% uptake of certified sustainable palm oil in Europe for food, feed and oleochemical purposes, the palm oil sector is at the forefront of sustainability, and ahead of most other commodities, even before legislation.

This is followed by certified sustainable palm kernel oil (CSPKO) at 62% and certified sustainable palm kernel expeller (CSPKE) at only 5%, indicating that sustainable sourcing needs to be further developed in some sectors. CSPKO and CSPKE are mainly used in the oleochemical and feed sectors, respectively.
