L’olio di palma, il più diffuso olio vegetale al mondo, è una grave minaccia per le ultime foreste tropicali del pianeta e sebbene il settore stia facendo passi in avanti nell’evitare gli impatti ambientali (il 15% della produzione mondiale è certificata, contro l'11% del 2011), per il WWF non è ancora abbastanza.
Per stimolare le imprese a impegnarsi seriamente nella produzione e utilizzo di olio di palma sostenibile, il WWF ha dato le “pagelle” alle maggiori aziende mondiali del settore attraverso il Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard Report 2013 http://bit.ly/1bo3bnB
While the palm oil industry is still investigating how to stop the destruction of human and environmental resources in South East Asia, fair alternatives already exist, such as palm oil projects in Ghana, Togo and Ecuador which have been certified and have obtained the Fair for Life label.

Palm Oil Production and Processing Industry. Profitable Edible Oil Manufacturing Business
Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil high in saturated fats and free of Tran’s fats. Palm oil is made from the fruits of trees called African oil palms. It is a type of vegetable oil, like sunflower or rapeseed oil. Oil palm flourishes in the humid tropics and produces high yield when grown 10 degrees north and south of the equator. The trees originally came from west and South-West Africa. They grow naturally in tropical rainforest areas, but they also are being planted and farmed especially to produce more palm oil.
Palm oil is the most widely-used vegetable oil in the world. Palm fruit oil, generally known as palm oil, is produced from the pulp of the fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis Guineensis). This tropical fruit is reddish in colour because of a high beta-carotene content. The fruit is about the size of a large olive. The fruit has a single seed or kernel, which is used to produce palm kernel oil. Each palm fruit contains about 30-35 per cent oil. Palm fruit oil and palm kernel oil differ significantly in their fatty acid composition, but have the same botanical origin.

Palm oil is a fatty edible vegetable oil, yellowish in color, derived from the flesh and the kernel of the fruit of the oil palm tree. The oil palm tree is a tropical, single stemmed tree having feather like leaves that gains a height of around 20 meters. The fruits of this tree, that are also the sources of the palm oil grow in bunches, are reddish in color, bigger than plums in size and have a single seeded kernel inside.
Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is one of the most important edible oil in India. Palm oil is one of the few vegetable oils known to be rather high in saturated fats, and it comes close to soybean oil as one of the most widely-produced vegetable oils in the world.

Palm oil is found in many products you probably use every day. But its production sometimes comes at the expense of forests, communities and wildlife. What are the solutions?
Palm Oil: Sustainability achieved through transparencyTransparency-One
Palm oil has a reputation as a “bad” product, but do we really know why this is, and where it’s used? And more importantly, can we do something about it?
Why Every Business Must Get Ready For The Conscious Consumption TrendBernard Marr
With growing awareness of the climate crisis generally comes a desire for more eco-friendly products. Certainly, in my family, we're keen to understand the impact of what we buy and are regularly asking questions such as, "Is this fair trade?" and "Was this farmed sustainably?" We're trying to be conscious consumers, in other words, seeking to understand the wider impact of our purchases and, wherever possible, choosing more sustainable, responsible alternatives. And as this major business trend shows, we’re not alone.
2. We surveyed some popular restaurant chains along Orchard Road
and were using cooking oil containing palm oil.32 out of 33
Is my cooking oil causing the haze?
Cooking oil labelled with terms such as “frying oil” or
“vegetable oil” often contains palm oil upon closer
inspection of the ingredients list.
Palm oil is widely used as a cooking oil in Singapore.
Wait, what’s palm oil?
Palm oil and palm kernel oil
are derived from the fruits
of the Oil Palm.
Malaysia and Indonesia
produce 85% of the world’s palm oil
as of August 2016.
When we asked them what type of
oil they were using, many of the
restaurant staff themselves were not
even aware that they were using
palm oil and would refer to it with
generic terms such as “vegetable oil”
or “tempura oil”.
3. So what?
Well…
Uncontrolled expansion of oil palm
plantations has contributed to many
environmental and social problems,
including the haze.
In response to consumer demand, many
global companies have made strong
commitments to buy only palm oil that is
grown responsibly.
Consumer awareness about the link
between haze and consumer products is
also growing in Singapore, as exemplified
by the boycott of APP products in 2015.
Why don’t we just switch to other types of oil?
• Oil palm yields about 5 – 8 times more oil than other oil crops1, so
less land is needed to produce the same amount of oil.
• Other oil crops may also be problematic. Soybeans, for example,
have been linked to deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.

Choose palm oil that is sourced
from haze-free plantations.
4. Haze-causing plantations Haze-free plantations
Use fire to clear land
Zero-burning
(use machinery
to clear land)
Snatch land from locals,
with fire being used
as a weapon
Respect land rights
and work with local
communities to
minimise use of fire
Cause deforestation,
resulting in
fire-prone area
Protect forests,
keeping area humid
Drain peat,
resulting in
fire-prone area
Avoid new planting
on peat and manage
water level in existing
plantations on peat
Lack manpower and
equipment to fight fires
Sufficient manpower
and equipment to detect
and stop fires early
What is the difference between haze-
free and haze-causing plantations?
5. Plantations are required to adhere to RSPO’s Principles and Criteria in
order to be certified. Here are the criteria relevant to haze:
• Restrictions on use of fire for land clearance
• Respect for land rights of local communities and indigenous people
• Protection of primary and high-conservation-value forests
• No new planting on extensive peatland and management of water
levels for existing plantations on peat
How do I ensure that my palm oil is
sourced from haze-free plantations?
A good place to start is by making sure your palm oil
is certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
RSPO is a non-profit organisation launched in 2004
that unites non-governmental organisations and
companies to make sustainable (socially and
environmentally-friendly) palm oil the norm.
The RSPO certifies 17% of global palm oil
as of August 2016.
6. What are the different types of
RSPO-certified palm oil?
Identity Preserved (IP)
Palm oil from certified plantations is kept separate from non-certified palm oil throughout the supply
chain AND the palm oil in the end product can be traced back to a single mill.
Look out for these claims labels!
7. What are the different types of
RSPO-certified palm oil?
Segregated (SG)
Palm oil from certified plantations is kept separate from non-certified palm oil
throughout the supply chain.
Look out for these claims labels!
8. Mass Balance (MB)
Allows for mixing of certified and non-certified palm oil.
e-Trace system ensures that the amount of palm oil sold as certified palm oil
in end product is equivalent to the amount of certified palm oil produced.
Mass Balance and Book and Claim options
incentivize the production of certified sustainable palm oil,
but you may still be buying from haze-causing plantations.
Palm oil buyers should opt for at least Segregated (SG) RSPO-certified palm oil,
although the Mass Balance and Book and Claim options may be used as an
interim measure if IP and SG are unavailable.
What are the different types of
RSPO-certified palm oil?
Book and Claim (BC)
Does not involve physical transfer of any palm oil.
Palm oil buyers buy a certificate from growers.
Is anyone already using RSPO-certified
cooking oil in Singapore?
YES!
RSPO-certified (Segregated) palm oil is currently being used in Singapore as cooking oil.
Although at the moment it costs slightly more (about 6-10%), with time and with greater
demand, the price of RSPO-certified palm oil will fall to match current prices.
9. The following FAQ is based on RSPO’s Market Communications and Claims rules (2015), which is the latest set of rules
as of August 2016. Refer to www.rspo.org for updated rules, if any.
Need audits and certification
Product manufacturers or repackagers (including supermarkets with in-house brands)
To claim that the product is RSPO-certified, the RSPO-certification trademark must be
displayed on the product packaging.
These are the steps to obtain the Trademark license: Step 1:Apply to be a RSPO member
Step 2: Undergo Audit
Step 3: Obtain the Trademark license
Do not need audits and certification
Restaurants,caterers and other food providers which buy cooking oil but do not repackage
Currently, such businesses need not undergo audits. However, RSPO is reviewing this in
September 2016.
The business would currently only need to check that:
• Their supplier is an RSPO trademark licensee (list is available on www.rspo.org)
• The product packaging carries the RSPO-certification trademark

Which suppliers can supply RSPO-
certified cooking oil to Singapore?
Most of these suppliers can
provide a blend of cooking
oil types in order to meet
the Health Promotion
Board (HPB) healthier oil
criteria as well.
You can contact us at
contact@pmhaze.org if you
need the sales contacts for
these companies.
10. How do I make my brand haze-free?
Switching to RSPO-certified palm oil cooking oil is a good starting point due to its availability.
However, to be a haze-free hero, the business must ensure that palm oil used in any form across
its global operations is truly haze-free.
It takes time to source RSPO-certified palm oil across all global operations and in
all forms. Businesses can first send a clear message to stakeholders including
customers, shareholders and suppliers, by making a public time-bound
commitment to source haze-free palm oil.
To support this commitment, businesses can develop a palm oil policy which
includes a supplier code of conduct that ensures suppliers commit to certain
standards of transparency and traceability and allows the buyer to take measures
if violations are discovered. A palm oil policy template is available on
www.pmhaze.org
Follow through with the commitment to source RSPO-certified palm oil.
While switching to RSPO-certified palm oil, progressive businesses can also look
out for palm oil which is produced according to the stricter standard: zero-fire,
zero-deforestation, zero-peat and zero-exploitation. RSPO-Next is one example
of an emerging certification that meets this higher standard.
Finally, businesses can demonstrate their social responsibility by directly
supporting haze-prevention efforts such as peat restoration.
