Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard

HOW DID THE
MANUFACTURERS
PERFORM IN 2015?
Like retailers, the consumer goods
manufacturers show a clear split: 33
leading brands of the 77 evaluated
are using 100 per cent CSPO, but 16
seem not to be buying any at all.
Of the 77
manufacturers
evaluated by
WWF, 10 did
not submit an
ACOP report
to the RSPO
or respond
to WWF’s
requests for
information.
We drew the
following
conclusions
about volumes
based on the
67 companies
that did
respond and
that we were
able to score.

Not on the
journey yet
Of the 77 manufacturers surveyed seven have not taken even the first and simplest step
of joining the RSPO.
Brioche Pasquier, Canada Bread, Dragsbæk, Emami Limited, Hillshire
Brands, Intercos, Maspex, Sofina, Tayto and Toms did not respond to WWF’s
request for information. Avril did respond but reported taking no action in 2015. Its
subsidiary Oleon is an RSPO member but in the processor/refiner category, so it is unclear
whether the data it reported to the RSPO covered any or all of Avril’s business as well.
Campbell’s reported directly to WWF since it is not yet an RSPO member itself.
Campbell’s subsidiary Arnott’s is an RSPO member but the data it gave to the RSPO
only covers Arnott’s actions and not those of its parent company.
