The European Palm Oil Alliance (EPOA) unites frontrunners in sustainable palm oil. We aim for sustainable palm oil to be recognized as a quality vegetable oil that fits in a responsible lifestyle and a nutritionally balanced diet. At the core is our joint belief that a sustainable deforestation-free palm oil supply chain is not only possible, but essential.
Transforming complex supply chains and achieving positive impact is difficult and collaboration in a receptive market is key to creating lasting change. At EPOA we believe that rebalancing the image by emphasizing the importance and impact of sustainable palm oil is crucial to make these changes possible.
We believe that responsibly produced palm oil is a key ingredient for food, feed and home and personal care products to help feed and nurture the world, to help protect biodiversity and improve socio-economic development, overall contributing to achieve the UN SDGs.
So far, we helped increase European sustainable palm oil import to 90%. We also developed and communicated fact-based information, contributing to a more balanced palm oil image. With your membership support we can further rebalance the palm oil narrative and expand the sustainable palm oil market in Europe and beyond.
We have a strong and dedicated European network and align with key stakeholders, facilitating constructive dialogue. We develop fact based information that helps rebalance the palm oil narrative and contributes to a more stable palm oil image.
We support the independent Sustainable Palm Oil Choice and have the ambition to reach 55 million people trough our social media activities in 2022. We tell the complicated truth about sustainable palm oil and and help continue the positive developments, giving frontrunners in sustainable palm oil a voice and a receptive consumer market.
