The Lubrizol Corporation announces the acceptance of Lubrizol Advanced Materials into the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) association. RSPO is a not-for-profit association that unites stakeholders from seven sectors of the palm oil industry – oil palm producers, palm oil processors or traders, consumer goods manufacturers, retailers, banks and investors, environmental or nature conservation nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) and social or developmental NGOs – to develop and implement global standards for sustainable palm oil. Certification for membership is based on very stringent guidelines.
“We are extremely proud of this achievement,” said Jeff Carey, global product management director for Lubrizol personal and home care. “We are dedicated to helping our customers reach their sustainability goals and become RSPO compliant, and being a member of RSPO is consistent with our growth strategy to provide solutions to the market.”
Lubrizol has engaged all current suppliers of palm-oil derivatives and has determined that each is compliant with one of the RSPO supply chain models. The company will continue to engage with current and new suppliers of palm oil derivatives on their RSPO position.
