Sustainability Policy

Bakels Edible Oils (N.Z) Ltd is committed to the procurement of raw materials from suppliers who utilise and support the development of Sustainable production processes. This philosophy also extends into minimising the utilisation of natural resources such as water to ensure Bakels Edible Oils reduces any environmental impacts.

The issue of Sustainable Palm Oil production is a concern to our company. In line with our commitment to Sustainability, Bakels Edible Oils has implemented a commitment to purchase its Palm Oil requirements in line with the GreenPalm Certificate Trading Programme, a RSPO (Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil) endorsed programme. This programme is designed to encourage Palm Oil producers to conduct their business in a Sustainable and responsible manner.

Palm Oil purchased by Bakels Edible Oils for its manufacturing requirements is purchased in conjunction with the GreenPalm Certification Program, thus supporting the development of Sustainable Palm Oil production. Funds generated by GreenPalm levies are returned to Palm Oil producers and organisations that audit the Palm Oil producers, to ensure they meet the criteria required for Sustainable Palm Oil production.

As a responsible supplier of quality ingredients to the Food Industry, Bakels Edible Oils is committed to continuous improvement in its processes and policies relating to Sustainability.
