ADM embraces sustainable palm oil

In Illinois, Archer Daniels Midland Company announced its intention to exclusively offer Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil certified sustainable palm oil to North American customers beginning in 2015. ADM is also working with Wilmar International Limited to provide fully traceable, sustainable palm oil that meets the RSPO Mass Balance standards.

“ADM and Wilmar share a commitment to environmental stewardship and community preservation. ADM supports Wilmar’s recent, ‘No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation’ policy, which is designed to advance industry transformation to help protect people and the environment,” said Ray Bradbury, vice president of ADM’s North American Oils group. “This enables us to offer customers a palm oil product that is fully traceable and sourced from crops that are responsibly grown and harvested.”
