As the most efficient and widely used vegetable oil on the planet, palm oil offers a range of benefits to companies using it to produce goods. Palm is a highly productive, affordable, and versatile crop, but it is also a major driver of issues like deforestation, habitat destruction, greenhouse gas emissions, and labor exploitation. How can companies continue to leverage the benefits of palm while reducing the impacts it has on our planet, its habitats, and people?
