What is Nestlé doing to ensure palm oil is sourced sustainably?

Nestle’s ambition is to achieve 100% responsibly sourced palm oil by 2020.

That means our palm oil comes from origins that:

Comply with local laws and regulations.
Are not areas cleared of natural forest after December 31, 2015.
Respect local and indigenous communities’ right to free, prior and informed consent.
Protect high-carbon-stock land.
Protect peatlands.
Comply with the principles and criteria of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the industry-wide certification body that promotes the growth and use of sustainable palm oil products.

Where feasible, nonetheless, we are meeting demand for choice in our products with palm-oil free recipes. Nestlé expects over 90% of our key agricultural commodities to be verified deforestation free by the end of 2020. Working with our suppliers, we’re improving traceability of where our palm oil comes from. In 2018, we became the first global food company to implement Starling, a satellite-based service developed to monitor 100% of our global palm oil supply chains. We will extend the program to cover our pulp and paper supply chains in 2019 as well as soya at a later stage.
