The move has been described as ‘significant’ by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) as Indonesia is the second largest palm oil consuming market in the world.
Darrel Webber, secretary general of RSPO, said that the move “should blaze the trail in inspiring other players within the Indonesian palm oil supply chain to transform the palm oil industry into a sustainable industry”.
“The RSPO trademark which was introduced a year ago provides the right momentum for Carrefour to intensively educate the public on the benefits and values of a product that contains certified sustainable palm oil.”
The cooking oil is made from RSPO-certified 100% Indonesian grown palm oil. The trademark signifies sustainable plantation cultivation, sourcing and environmentally-friendly production.
