Sustainability gets more and more important. As we take our responsibility within this area very serious, we likely gave a statement to the newspaper CHEManager. The statement is based on the following question: "Palm (kernel) oil is an important raw material for cosmetic and food industry. Every company of delivering and producing industry is required to take their responsibility and verify a sustainable dealing with this raw material. How does your company support the sustainable use of palm (kernel) oil?" Statement from Peter Greven: "Sustainability plays an important role for us. Especially the use of sustainable palm oil has become very important in the last years. To meet our responsibility we joined the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), a non-profit organisation which supports the sustainable palm oil production, in 2010. Beyond a membership we strive to an active participation: therefore products, which are certified according RSPO Mass Balance, have been firm components of our product portfolio for a long time. To make a next important step towards sustainability we decided to rearrange our plant in Venlo so that we use 100% RSPO Mass Balance certified fatty acids. And within this year we will also be able to offer the first Segregated certified products."
