Respecting and promoting universal standards in our operations and supply chains

As a global company we believe that we can play a positive role in advancing the well-being of our employees, customers, people working in our supply chains and in the communities where we operate.

In 2024 we began a collaboration in Latin America palm oil sector in partnership with Grupo HAME, the non-profit organization Proforest and the Palm Grower Association of Guatemala (GREPALMA). With these partners, we sponsored a human rights training program for the region’s palm oil industry, primarily in Guatemala.
 
The objective of the training program was to create awareness and educate palm oil leaders about human rights. The program, presented in Spanish, was created specifically for producers (plantations) and sustainability specialists from mills and refineries. Stakeholders across 16 countries have participated in the program in 2024.
