Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) CSPO represents the certification process where palm oil growers must commit to real credible sustainability standards through time-bound plans.
There is an increasing demand for palm oil that is sustainably certified in Europe and North America, including big names such as Walmart, Unilever and Nestle. As of 2011, CSPO represented over 10% of the global palm oil market but this has increased in recent years and is projected to increase in coming years. The certification process consists of reviewing existing production operations and identifying areas that must be improved to reach the CSPO standards to then be approved by a certification body. The standards are based on eight principles which have been retrieved from the RSPO website: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Palm Oil Scorecard 2015: Fries, Face Wash, Forests.

It’s Not All Bad: Americans and Palm Oil. Climate change and its impact on Americans Your family carefully sorts your trash and composts table scraps weekly and tries really hard to remember to bring cloth or canvas bags to the grocery store.
Some of us drive hybrid cars and support wind power, while others ride a bike to work because they want to reduce their carbon footprint. We do all of this because we want our children and grandchildren to live on a healthy planet. Going through these inconveniences makes us confident that we are doing all the right things and proud of the message we’re sending our kids. That could be the reason for millions of Americans to feel confused and angry when we feel the full impact of global warming and rising sea levels in the next few years.
Those of us who have had the luxury of time and who have been paying attention have done everything we can to stall the steady rise of earth’s temperature, but many of us remain unaware that we all support one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases. Sustainable production of palm oil: UK statement. Palm Oil Innovation Group. What is the POIG?
The POIG was launched in November 2013 by a group of international NGOs (including WWF, RAN and Greenpeace) along with palm oil producing companies who are recognized as innovative leaders in socio-environmental issues. Presently the POIG has twelve members. In addition, a number of retailers and consumer goods manufacturers like Ferrero, Tesco, Edeka, Rewe Group and Stephenson have recently pledged their support of POIG. The group was initiated after the 2013 review of the RSPO Principals and Criteria’s (P&Cs), which POIG members believe should have been more innovative; especially on the issues of deforestation, carbon stocks, biodiversity and social relations. All of the POIG members are committed to showing best practice on the P&Cs and innovation in new areas with the aim of reinforcing and improving the RSPO P&Cs.
The POIG is based on the principle that innovation and continuous improvement are essential to any successful business. Why did WWF join the POIG? Say No To Palm Oil. Save Endangered Species. Palm Oil and How it threatens Orangutans. Palm Oil Free List. The Problem with Palm Oil Demand for palm oil has undergone phenomenal growth in recent years and is expected to more than double by 2030 and triple by 2050.
Increased production has involved the clearing of virgin forest and peatlands in South East Asia, spelling disaster for local communities, biodiversity and climate change. Indonesia alone already has over 6 million hectares of plantations. The demand is fed by the food and cosmetics industries, and increasing for use in biofuels. Consumers increasingly want to avoid the ingredient where possible, but it's a tricky task as it's used in so many products - more than 10% of supermarket products from margarine and oven chips to soaps and detergents.
Why there is great urgency for sustainability in palm oil. European consumers have a high-level of environmental awareness and represent a powerful lever that can be used to transform the market. According to a survey published by the European Commission on July 5, most Europeans would be prepared to change their purchasing habits and buy more environmentally friendly products, yet many feel they lack information and distrust manufacturers' environmental claims. In India and China, consumer awareness is also on the rise. Chinese consumers’ purchasing behaviour, for example, is increasingly directly influenced by a company's CSR performance. According to a recent study by Tsinghua University, 79% of respondents said they would "give priority to purchase products from companies with outstanding CSR performance", while 69.6% would "recommend others to purchase products of a company with a good CSR performance".

What you can do. We’re all guilty of throwing away food at some point — in fact, roughly one-third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year gets lost or wasted. And once that half-sandwich or week-old lasagna is in the trash can, it’s easy to forget about the environmental impacts. But wasted food contributes billions of tons of greenhouse gases. By the time you step into a grocery store, nearly 3.3 billion tons of emissions are already on their way to the atmosphere due to the production, processing and transportation of food that is eventually wasted. Then, in the landfill, decomposing organic waste generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas that traps 23 times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
More than 20% of all methane emissions come from landfills. Wasted food also means wasted water — about 25% of all fresh water consumed annually in the United States is associated with discarded food.

Palm-oil-and-global-warming.pdf. Infographic: Palm Oil and Tropical Deforestation. We need tropical forests Tropical forests play a crucial role in stabilizing the earth's climate, storing vastly more carbon dioxide (CO2) than forests in the world's temperate regions.
A 2011 study estimated total carbon stored by the earth's tropical forests at 271 billion tons—that's about 7 times the total carbon emissions from fossil fuel use in the year 2008. In addition, tropical forests play host to millions of species, comprising about two-thirds of the earth's terrestrial biodiversity.
