Sustainability in the Palm Oil Industry in India – Getting our Act Together

Despite good progress on sustainable palm oil production and certification, 80% of palm oil
produced remains uncertified and half of all certified palm oil goes ‘unsold’ in the
marketplace, meaning that over 45 million metric tonnes of oil is sold without a
sustainability claim each year. What is preventing important consuming countries such as
India from tapping into the growing interest and improving availability of sustainable
products, and how can stakeholders such as supply chain companies, brands, government,
and civil society help to drive more uptake in the near term?
