A #countrycarding system risks to penalise #sustainable actors in “high risk” areas and distort competition ! #EU is planning this based on differentiated #duediligence requirements depending on the “risk profile” of the country in its #deforestation proposal

The Partnership between #HCSA and #Afi will focus on tackling #deforestation, improving livelihoods and sharing best practices. it will be important for companies producing, sourcing, or investing in forest-risk commodity #supplychains. See: bit.ly/2YyV7G3

#Palmoil industry took strong action to protect #rainforests and #biodiversity through the years. Today, the palm oil sector is in a privileged position to start its #sustainability journey towards #netzero emissions. bit.ly/3B63LtM

As the Commission’s proposal on #Deforestation approaches, we call on the #EU to avoid a system which excludes high-risk regions from supply chains. We must help transform those regions and not abandon them.

Wilmar’s 2020 #Sustainability Report highlights the important results achieved in the last year and outlines the steps ahead: intensify our efforts to engage our stakeholders on sustainability, contribute to reduce climate change and tackle #deforestation. bit.ly/35Cu0Kp

#Wilmar’s inclusion in the FTSE4Good ASEAN 5 from @FTSERussell is a great recognition of the hard work we do every day to ensure that our business is based on #sustainability and #responisibility. Read our Press release at this link: bit.ly/2TXXQXp

Article by @OliviaLazard on the EU’s upcoming proposal to minimise the risk of #deforestation highlights the need to reimagine development pathways for producing countries and to focus on #smallholder farming. More on this at: bit.ly/3ioQoyu

Tackling #deforestation is a challenge the EU cannot afford to face without cooperating with other countries: good to hear @VSinkevicius stating that the EU needs to listen to the views from all sides. bit.ly/2SVosaX

#Certification schemes have a huge role in improving the #sustainability of agricultural production. They also lead to decrease in #deforestation and improved local communities’ livelihood. Interesting report via this link: bit.ly/3ykUxJD

It was good to hear such a constructive speech by EP Vice-President @HeidiHautala during last week’s seminar “Measures on #Deforestation – Producing Countries’ Perspectives”: tackling #deforestation is a shared effort, partnerships are key in this challenge.

An interesting read to have a better understanding of the upcoming EU proposal on #DueDiligence and how it may impact global #supplychains. At Wilmar we are fully committed to conduct our business responsibly at all levels of our supply chains. bit.ly/2Rqi7UN

Wilmar’s No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (#NDPE) policy extends across our global operations, including our joint-venture partners and third-party suppliers. Our sustainability achievements in figures: bit.ly/3eCxQsm

Supporting smallholder farmers producing #PalmOil also means empowering women through gender-equality measures to contribute to the well-being of the whole community. Great initiative from @RSPOtweets to strengthen its commitment to women's rights. prn.to/3vK3wBU

A @CGF_The_Forum study notes a decrease in #palmoil driven #deforestation, thanks to initiatives such as @RSPOtweets certification. By monitoring #supplychains and cooperating across industries we can all do our share to protect the #environment. bit.ly/3tdPiaO

A #PalmOil boycott may lead to dire consequences for the #environment as it would provoke more #deforestation and affect the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. #Sustainable and #certified palm oil should be promoted around the world. bit.ly/3xlTLeO

#SustainableDevelopment requires tackling #deforerestation and protecting the #environment. Cooperation with developing countries is therefore crucial, and sustaining local communities and supporting #smallholder farmers must be a priority. bit.ly/2QDeNEZ

Palm oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil on the planet. The only viable way forward for palm oil is for Europe and the world to support #sustainable cultivation through cooperative partnerships with responsible producing countries. More on this: bit.ly/2QebKmK

#CertificationSchemes play a crucial role in ensuring #SupplyChains are free from environmental & human rights risks. Together with #duediligence & cooperation with producing countries, they can drive real change on the ground. More on @EPOA_EU'sposition: bit.ly/3te0y83

Great to see @CGF_The_Forum committing to protecting #forests and the livelihood of local communities in the #PalmOil sector. Companies can go a long way by engaging with local governments, jurisdictions and communities to support collective action.
