Daabon UK, part of the Daabon group, a global leader in sustainable agriculture, has launched what it claims is the world’s first carbon neutral organic palm oil.
The carbon neutral organic palm oil comes from a mill in northern Colombia and has a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculated CO2eq of -977kg per tonne, making it ideal for palm oil users who are serious about sustainability and cutting their Scope 3 carbon emissions.
The carbon footprint is said to compare extremely favourably to industry averages, including for certified sustainable palm oil.
Globally, the average carbon footprint of conventional palm oil stands at +5,340kg CO2eq per tonne, with RSPO certified sustainable segregated palm oil averaging +3,410kg per tonne and best-in-class RSPO certified sustainable palm oil averaging +1,470kg per tonne. The average across Daabon’s two mills is +150kg per tonne.
Introducing the first carbon neutral palm oil represents a huge step forward, says Manuel Davila, MD of Daabon UK and EU, who explains: “Tackling the carbon footprint is the natural next step in making palm oil truly sustainable – and we’re delighted to have achieved this milestone. We genuinely believe that Daabon carbon neutral palm oil sets the gold standard for sustainability worldwide.
“Our next step is to replicate this at our other refinery, with the eventual goal of making all the palm oil we offer become carbon-negative and climate-positive. Of course, there is still some way to go to cut the emissions associated with onward transport and global shipping – but it’s a fantastic start that will help our customers to cut their Scope 3 emissions and drive significant sustainability improvements.”
Daabon carbon neutral organic palm oil is available in 20 litre jerry cans and 12.5kg boxes.
Daabon is firmly committed to sustainability, providing fully traceable to the farm, organic, certified sustainable and EUDR-compliant palm oil. The company holds a series of sustainability accreditations, including RSPO, Fair Trade, Regenerative Organic Certification, Organic Certification, and Non-GMO Project.
