Pourquoi UTZ ?

En l'espace de 5 ans seulement, UTZ CERTIFIED est devenu l'un des plus grands programmes de certification dans le domaine du café. Nous avons développé un code de conduite de base et un système de traçabilité extrêmement perfectionné.
UTZ CERTIFIED s'est maintenant fixé pour objectif d'étendre ce succès à d'autres produits, et l'huile de palme sera un des premiers. Pour l'huile de palme, UTZ CERTIFIED s'est associé à la Table Ronde sur l'Huile de Palme Durable pour introduire dans la filière le code de conduite de la RSPO, qui reflète les exigences pour la production durable.

About Palm Oil

Palm oil is the world's most widely produced vegetable oil. In South-East Asia it is an important cooking-oil for most people. In Europe it is an ingredient in approximately half of all packaged goods such as shampoo, margarine, fish fingers, detergent, soap and ice cream. The production of palm oil (which comes from the oil palm fruit), however, has come under scrutiny for some time now. There are social and economic challenges facing the industry as well as significant environmental issues. Today's consumers are increasingly aware of this and expect their favorite brands to take responsibility. With a certification and traceability system in place, the journey has begun towards achieving a fully sustainable supply chain for the world's palm oil industry.
