Responsible Sourcing of Palm Policy

RSPO Principles & Criteria & NDPE

FPG is committed to ensuring our suppliers meet RSPO Principles and Criteria (P&C) and have the necessary policies and procedures in place to ensure responsible sourcing of palm kernel oil. We expect our suppliers to follow the 2018 RSPO P&C which have incorporated the key elements of our no deforestation, no peat, and no exploitation (NDPE) policy outlined below:

No development of high-conservation-value (HCV) areas and high-carbon-stock (HCS) forests
No new development of peat lands regardless of depth
No burning to clear land for new development or replanting
Compliance with FPG’s standard commercial terms and condition and adherence to FPG’s Gift & Entertainment Policy and Anti-Bribery and Appropriate Contacts with Government Officials Policy

Verification

MSPO and RSPO certifications are two major components of verifying compliance with our NDPE policy and our supply chain expectations. In addition to MSPO and RSPO certifications, FPG will focus additional verification efforts on sourcing areas characterized as high risk per our palm oil mill risk assessment process, based on the World Resource Institute (WRI) Global Forest Watch (GFW) Pro.
We will work with relevant suppliers to ensure adequate traceability and verification of Responsible Sourcing requirements for high risk locations. For the high-risk mills, we expect our suppliers (including working with their suppliers for 3rd party source) to provide the FFB source profile (% own plantation, % scheme smallholders, and % other) to further prioritize mill risk.
