Retailers Working Group on Palm Oil
This group brings together major French retailers committed to sourcing responsible palm oil, i.e. an oil whose traceability is assured and which is produced with respect for Nature and People, in accordance with the principles of ‘No Deforestation, No Peat and No Exploitation’ (NDPE).
Beyond their individual action plans, the retailers work collectively to implement their commitments. These mutualised efforts allows retailers to convey common messages in the supply chain, and thus increase their impact.
