Palm oil and its derivatives are targeted as the most important sources of raw materials for lubricants and personal cares. However, in order to get more economic benefit, large tracts of forest were cut down to plant palm trees. Patech as a member of global village has the responsibility to protect the forest, conservation creatures and human right. Therefore, we established our sustainability policy which is including NDPE commitments.
♦ No Deforestation New plantings do not cause deforestation or replace any area required to maintain or enhance High Conservation Value (HCV). High conservation values and high carbon stock forests(HCS) in the managed area are identified, maintained and enhanced.
♦ No Peat Refers to having no new developments on peatland and encouraging the use of Best Management Practices on existing plantations on peat
♦ No Exploitation No exploiting workers, local communities or small-scale growers, in the production of an agricultural commodity. Respecting human rights: with a focus on the rights of indigenous and local communities, workers, and smallholders. We are continuously monitoring the reported deforest amount of our suppliers.
