We are working closely with our principal suppliers and customers’ technical and innovation teams to offer sustainable and ethical products as alternative sources of supply wherever possible".
The cosmetics and personal care industry, in particular, are increasingly recognising the importance of using and promoting sustainable palm oil. Palm oil is widely used in the personal care industry, but cultivating palm oil can have severe effects on rainforests, climate change, livelihood of the local people and the habitat of orang-utans and other wildlife. Public interest to see improvement and change in this area has grown significantly over the years.
