Palm Oil Responsible Sourcing Policy

 

At Log House Foods, responsible sourcing of palm oil is integral to our commitment to quality, social responsibility, and sustainability. As a proud member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), we strive to ensure that all palm-based ingredients used in our products meet the highest environmental and ethical standards, supporting a healthier planet and thriving communities.

Policy Commitments

  • We commit to sourcing 100% RSPO-certified palm oil, palm kernel oil, and related derivatives, prioritizing Segregated or Mass Balance supply chains in line with RSPO guidelines.
  • We ensure full traceability of our palm oil supply chain to the mill and plantation level, avoiding deforestation, peatland destruction, and the conversion of natural ecosystems.
  • All suppliers, including their affiliates, are required to comply with RSPO principles, our Supplier Code of Conduct, and all applicable local, national, and international laws.
  • We uphold human rights by respecting the rights of workers, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities, including the right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC).
  • We conduct thorough social and environmental risk assessments using industry-recognized verification systems and maintain robust grievance mechanisms.
  • We actively engage with suppliers, industry associations, NGOs, and customers to share best practices and promote continuous improvement in palm oil sustainability.
  • We implement and track time-bound corrective action plans to address any non-compliance, with clear consequences for failure to meet standards.
  • We commit to transparency by regularly reporting our progress and publicly sharing key metrics related to our palm oil sourcing practices.

Scope

This policy applies to all palm-based raw materials—including refined palm oil, palm kernel oil, and their derivatives—sourced globally for our operations, brands, and private-label products. It governs our direct suppliers and contracted partners.

Review and Updates

We review this policy annually to ensure it remains aligned with evolving industry standards and RSPO requirements. Updates will reflect the latest best practices and stakeholder expectations.
