DAE COMNIS CORROVIDUNT AD AS DEMAND CONTINUES TO Ad mos ipsapic tatecatum aut EXPAND, THE quo que am INDUSTRY HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE PALM OIL IS PRODUCED SUSTAINABLY WWF’s Palm Oil Scorecard shows what companies are – and aren’t – doing to prevent the negative environmental and social impacts of palm oil production. Palm oil is a hugely important commodity, but it can also cause deforestation, create greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, drive social conflicts and lead to the loss of vital habitats and unique biodiversity. As demand continues to expand, the industry has a responsibility to stop illegal and irresponsible practices and ensure palm oil is produced sustainably. One way to do that is to support the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and more importantly buy RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil. The WWF Palm Oil Scorecard shines a light on what companies are doing to tackle the problems around palm oil. Building on previous WWF Scorecards in 2009, 2011 and 2013, this latest edition brings into sharp focus which companies have met their commitments on palm oil – and which are falling behind. The results cover 2015 – the deadline year by which many companies promised to use 100 per cent certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO). While many companies have made commendable strides forward and honoured their commitments, others have made little progress or taken no action at all. What we looked at This Scorecard assessed the performance of 137 retailers, manufacturers and food service companies from Australia, Canada, Europe, India, Japan and the US. Between them, these brands use more than 6 million tonnes of palm oil, representing roughly 10 per cent of global use. In this Scorecard we looked again at the same core actions that any responsible company that uses palm oil can and should be taking to show commitment and support producers that are acting responsibly. No matter what the size of the company or which sector they are in, they should have: ● Joined the RSPO ● Made a time-bound commitment to buying only CSPO ● Started buying sustainable palm oil ● Publicly reported progress on these actions. We also went on to look at how quickly brands are shifting their use of CSPO to physically segregated sources that ensure uncertified and potentially unsustainable palm oil is eliminated from global supply chains. 3 WWF PALM OIL BUYERS SCORECARD 2016
