Certification
Olenex is offering a wide range of products complying with international certification standards. We offer those in both our Liquid oils and Tropical oils portfolio.
RSPO
The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has developed a set of environmental and social criteria which companies must comply with in order to produce and process Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO). When properly applied, these criteria minimize the negative impact of palm oil cultivation on the environment and communities in palm oil-producing regions.
Across the 29 requirements encompassing various thematic areas, Olenex is actively contributing to the implementation of RSPO’s Shared Responsibility requirements.
Olenex supplies certified palm oil product from two RSPO supply chain models;
SEGREGATED (SG)
Throughout the supply chain, certified palm oil is kept separate from traditional palm oil.
MASS BALANCE (MB)
In this supply chain, certified palm oil is mixed with traditional palm oil.
