Sawit Sumbermas Sarana: Supplying The Palm Oil Leakage Market, Risks For Purchasers
14/06/2017 (Seeking Alpha) - As reported by Chain Reaction Research, the palm oil industry's transformation towards sustainability gained traction in 2013 when major purchaser Unilever engaged SE Asian refiners and traders to embrace 'No Deforestation' policies. As a result, in 2013, Wilmar was the first SE Asian refiner or trader to adopt a No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (NDPE) policy. Many other trading companies in SE Asia, Europe, U.S., and Latin America followed suit. Currently, most large international palm oil traders and refiners have NDPE policies.
