Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil
At Manuchar, we are committed to making progress in reducing the environmental and social impacts of palm oil production, ensuring that the rights of workers and local communities are respected, and that sustainable practices are adopted.
As proud members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a non-profit organization that brings together stakeholders from seven sectors of the palm oil industry, we actively contribute to the establishment and implementation of global standards for sustainable palm oil. Since 2021, Manuchar HQ takes pride in being a member of this organization, and in 2022, affiliates Manuchar Indonesia, Manuchar Thailand, and Manuchar South Africa joined our collective efforts.
For transparency, environmental responsibility, and the preservation of natural resources, we proudly hold an RSPO distributor license available here, symbolizing our adherence to the recognized certification standard. This underscores our unwavering commitment to sourcing sustainable palm oil for our customers.
In 2023, we are pleased to present our first Shared Responsibility scorecard, featuring an average score of 3 — well above the sector average of 1.4. This score reflects our ongoing dedication to shared responsibility and sustainability.
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certification
Manuchar Pulp and Paper, a vital member of our Manuchar group, has achieved the prestigious Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. This accomplishment represents a significant milestone in our unwavering commitment to sustainable business practices. The FSC certification underscores our dedication to sourcing products responsibly from well-managed forests, perfectly aligning with our mission to contribute to a more sustainable future.
By obtaining the FSC certification, we reaffirm our pledge to environmental and social responsibility. This achievement is a testament to our ongoing efforts to integrate eco-friendly initiatives into our operations, ensuring that our products consistently meet the highest standards of sustainability. As we continue to prioritize these principles, we are proud to contribute to a healthier planet and communities, reflecting our dedication to a more sustainable and responsible future.
