Compared to other oil crops like soya or rapeseed, palm trees produce by far the most oil per unit of land and per unit of input.
Volac Wilmar believe that palm fats will play an increasingly vital role in sustainable and productive livestock nutrition in the future and it has an aspiration to set the agenda for sustainable and ethical sourcing by following these principles:
1. Certification – VWFI is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and can offer RSPOcertified
products on request.
2. Policy – Produced from palm oil that adheres to the following principles – no deforestation, peat
development or social exploitation (ref: www.wilmar-international.com/sustainability)
3. Transparency – full traceability back to mill (ref: www.wilmar-international.com/sustainability/supplychain- map)
