Lubrizol joins Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil

LUBRIZOL Advanced Materials has joined the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the nonprofit association aims to develop and implement global standards for sustainable palm oil.

 

Lubrizol has determined all its suppliers of palm oil derivatives comply with one of the RSPO supply chain models.  The company will continue to engage with current and new suppliers of palm oil derivatives on their RSPO position.

 

“We are extremely proud of this achievement,” said Jeff Carey, global product management director for Lubrizol personal and home care.  

 

Mr. Carey said the company is dedicated to help customers reach their sustainability goals and become RSPO compliant. He said being a member of RSPO is consistent with Lubrizol’s growth strategy to provide solutions to the personal and home care global market .

 

RSPO brings together stakeholders from seven sectors of the palm oil industry, namely oil palm producers, palm oil processors or traders, consumer goods manufacturers, retailers, banks and investors, environmental or nature conservation nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and social or developmental NGOs. It implements very strict guidelines for membership certification.
