At the forefront of industry best practices
Industry certification is part of Golden Agri-Resources’ (GAR’s) ongoing commitment to responsible palm oil production. We work closely with nationally and internationally recognised sustainable palm oil certification bodies to set benchmarks against our operations and implement these standards. These measures ensure GAR remains at the forefront of industry best practices while allowing us to meet the growing demand for certified sustainable palm oil.
GAR has pioneered and adopted policies that involve reducing deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss, and demonstrating respect for indigenous and local communities. We have been accredited by the following sustainable palm oil standard systems for these efforts.
