FOCUS ON PALM OIL

TREDIS is a member of RSPO, an initiative aimed at providing sustainability principles and criteria. TREDIS is also certified under the RSPO Supply Chain (or Chain of Custody) standard.

This applies to all stages of processing and trade, from raw material sourcing to the finished product placed on retail shelves. The goal is to ensure the traceability of sustainable palm oil all the way to its final consommation.

It is palm oil produced sustainably and marketed ethically from an environmental standpoint, socially responsible, and economically viable. When well planned and implemented, its cultivation can meet these criteria while improving rural living standards, local and national development, and maintaining clearly defined environmental values.

The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a global multi-stakeholder initiative to promote sustainable palm oil products. RSPO members and participants come from diverse backgrounds, including plantations, manufacturers and distributors of palm oil products, environmental and social NGOs, as well as numerous producing and consuming countries of palm oil products. The main goal of the RSPO is "to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm oil through cooperation within the supply chain and open dialogue among its stakeholders."

The Roundtable promotes palm oil production practices that reduce deforestation, preserve biodiversity, and respect the livelihoods of rural communities in producing countries. It ensures that no new primary forest or other areas of high conservation value are sacrificed for palm oil plantations, that plantations implement best practices, and that the fundamental rights and living conditions of millions of plantation workers, smallholders, and indigenous peoples are respected.

The Roundtable has established two certification systems:

to ensure that palm oil is produced sustainably on plantations
to guarantee the integrity of palm oil trade, meaning that palm oil is tracked at every stage of processing and commerce, from production to the finished product on store shelves. The goal is to ensure the traceability of sustainable palm oil up to its final consumption. Several traceability models are provided by RSPO: Identity Preserved (IP), Segregated (SG), or Mass Balanced (MB).

These two systems involve external certification bodies. Thanks to these rigorous certification systems, manufacturers and consumers of palm oil can be assured that their products contain or support sustainable palm oil.

Tredis took an important step in this process by becoming an RSPO member in 2011.

In 2014, Tredis furthered its commitment by obtaining certification under the RSPO Supply Chain standard.

Since then, TREDIS has been distributing palm oil-based products that can be certified according to the “Mass Balance,” “Segregated,” and “Identity Preserved” systems.
