Sustainability / No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation Policy
MAY 15th, 2018
Palm oil is an essential food product providing a livelihood for millions of people. As the importance of palm oil in the food chain continue to grow, production of palm oil needs to be managed sustainably to ensure that forests are conserved, communities are respected, and the workers receive fair treatment.
Kilang Sawit C.P. Sdn Bhd is committed to ensuring that its products are produced in a sustainable manner. We firmly believe it is critical that all parts of palm oil supply chain – from plantations to retailers – collaborate and act in an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible manner.
We pledge our support of:
- No deforestation of high conservation value (HCV) lands or high carbon stock (HCS) areas
- No planting on peat land
- No exploitation of rights or workers, indigenous peoples, and local communities
We will work to ensure that all our activities and services are governed by our commitment to the above areas.
We will collaborate with and seek the support of all our suppliers and customers for their cooperation and commitment to this policy. We encourage each one of them to develop and have in place, similar policies by year 2020. This is to ensure the whole supply chain is fully committed to the promotion of no deforestation, no planting on peat and no exploitation of the rights of workers, indigenous people and local communities.
