What information is required for the Palm Oil Survey?

You will only need to declare retail own label products that contain palm materials and that you sell to ASDA, Co-op, EDEKA, Kaufland, Lidl International, M&S, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose & Partners. If the relevant product group contains palm oil it should be included, whether or not that palm oil is certified.
The declaration should be for all products sold 1 Jan 2023 – 31 Dec 2023.

Information for Retailers

You will need to provide the following information for each of the named retailers you supply:
·     RSPO certification status of your manufacturing sites producing products for us.
·     Retail product list for your company confirming that the palm products included in your declaration are directly related to the products supplied to our company. These must include the retail customer product reference number.
·     Palm product tonnages purchased as raw materials by your company that are used in the products you supply us. Data must include:
            o   Name of your direct palm product supplier.
            o   Total tonnage of palm products, by type. This should only be the volume that is used specifically in our products; not across your entire operations.
            o   RSPO certification status for all raw materials purchased (e.g. segregated, mass balance).

Palm Oil within products supplied

·       Palm product tonnages purchased within ingredients by your company that are used in the products you supply us. Data must include:
