WHAT? What does fully traceable actually mean?
Traceability is the ability to identify and follow the movement of a product’s ingredients through all stages of production, processing, and distribution. It means knowing the sources of your ingredients, and where and how a product was produced. WHY? Why do we care so much about traceability? Knowing where ingredients are sourced is the only way to ensure clean products. Traceability is vital to ensuring products are deforestation and exploitation- free. By knowing the source of our ingredients, we can understand the impact of our actions on people and the environment throughout our supply chain. This knowledge means we can offer manufacturers, retailers, and consumers full transparency around where and how their ingredients and products are produced. “Providing full traceability means governing and registering every step in our supply chain, from the farms that produce the palm fruit, to the markets where we supply our ingredients and products. ”
HOW? How do we meet this promise?
Providing full traceability means governing and registering every step in our supply chain, from the farms that produce the palm fruit, to the markets where we supply our ingredients and products. Operate an integrated supply chain We have built an integrated supply chain from farm to fork. We know all of the farmers in our supply network, and understand their practices and businesses. We operate our own mill and are strategically aligned with the processor, which means that they work according to our strict specifications. As well as this, we actively collaborate with the manufacturers and retailers that service their consumers. Knowing exactly what is going on at every step of our supply chain allows us to intervene immediately when necessary. Certification standards Certification standards support the full traceability of our ingredients. By following the Identity Preserved system of the RSPO standard, we make sure that a single identifiable certified source is kept separate from conventional palm oil throughout the supply chain.
