Palm oil: ESG policy transparency assessments
SPOTT assesses 50 palm oil producers and traders on the public disclosure of their policies, operations and commitments to environmental, social and governance (ESG) best practice. Each company receives a percentage score as a measure of its transparency in relation to ESG risks.
Company policies and commitments may not translate into effective implementation on the ground. The media monitor on each company page may provide some contextual information; however, independent due diligence activities should include measures to assess levels of implementation.
Select a company in the table below to view its full assessment, along with a press release and summary of key figures and findings across the 50 latest assessments.
