Cargill to exclusively offer RSPO certified palm oil
With this latest move, by January 2024, all customers buying palm oil from one of Cargill’s U.S. refineries can be assured they are receiving RSPO-certified palm oil, sourced from either mass balance or segregated supply chains, Cargill noted.
Cargill will exclusively offer palm oil certified by the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
As of October 2023, the company will no longer offer conventional palm oil in its U.S. portfolio. The decision to solely offer RSPO-certified palm oil from Cargill’s U.S. refineries addresses rising demand from both consumers, who increasingly prioritize sustainability in their purchase decisions, and food manufacturers and retailers, who are working to advance their supply chain sustainability goals, the company stated.
