Vitae Naturals Receive RSPO Certification, Securing Participation in Sustainable Supply Chain
31 Mar 2016 --- Vitae Naturals has been committed to use palm derived ingredients from sustainable sources and thus has led to obtaining an RSPO certification (Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil) through strict verification of the production process under the stringent “RSPO Principles & Criteria”.
This means that all ingredients containing palm oil derivatives are sourced through Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Mass Balance mixed-source supply chain.
The fulfillment with RSPO standard is guaranteed in the whole Supply Chain using RSPO certified products. Audits are carried out annually by an accredited company, to prevent overselling and mixing palm oil with conventional (or non-sustainable) oil palm products.
Elena Martin, Commerce Dept of Vitae Naturals explains to FoodIngredientsFirst the importantance of the certification: “Our customers are demanding our participation in sustainable supply chain. Hence we offer them guarantees and potential customers will value our certification positively.”
