For the first time, Evonik Industries is offering customers products that have been certified in accordance with the standard of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
Evonik has been an ordinary member of the RSPO since 2010. The aim of this multi- stakeholder association is to promote the plantation and use of sustainable palm oil.
The first Evonik production sites for personal care products in Germany became certified according to the RSPO requirements by the end of last year, others will follow.
Furthermore, Evonik’s Personal Care Business Line supports sustainability efforts of cosmetic manufacturers with its communication platform CAREtain. This platform helps to indicate product related sustainability features like their environmental impact and application properties to enable future-oriented cosmetics.
“Our goal is to extend the offer of certified products step by step,” Dr Dietmar Moll, senior vice president of the personal care business line explained. “In doing this, we are making a further important step forward.”
