All of our palm oil produced is totally traceable. We obtain fresh fruit bunches from our plantations, carefully selected suppliers, and known and documented sources.

REPSA’s supply area includes 12,524 hectares of its own plantations, 7,739 hectares of associated producers and 7,090 hectares of independent suppliers, with a total of 27,353 hectares. We do not have small producers. Our traceability process started in 2018.

We buy fruit directly from agricultural producing companies, without participation of intermediaries. This mechanism provides us transparency in our supply chain: the more direct the supply chain, the better.

 Since 2020 we have created a fruit purchase protocol with a requirement that our suppliers comply with non-deforestation standards, no plantations on peat soils, and no exploitation (Policy NDPE), and be signatory of the NDPE standard.

In April 2021, we strengthened our Sustainability Policy, which seeks the production of sustainable palm oil throughout the supply chain. The application and compliance with the policy extends to companies owned by the Group, as well as suppliers and members of the supply chain. As part of the due diligence process, a plan was established to raise awareness and sign the policy commitment by suppliers.

Due to the liquid nature, palm oil cannot be traced as a solid object, however, methods used comprise the scope of the RSPO standard from chain of custody, complying with the highest standards of the industry.
