Iberchem secures RSPO certification for sustainable palm oil

Iberchem’s Global Headquarters in Alcantarilla, Spain has received certification from the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).

By exhibiting compliance with RSPO standards through a comprehensive verification process, Iberchem is actively involved with the industry-led initiative to make sustainable palm oil the norm. Implementing the global standards for sustainable palm production and procurement, the company’s manufacturing site can deliver Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) materials via Mass Balance. 

Iberchem’s Global Headquarters now joins Croda’s 15 global manufacturing sites which are certified by RSPO. It is pleased to be supporting Croda in the advocation for sustainable palm production and sourcing, contributing towards their Climate, Land, and People Positive Commitment.

By expanding its sustainable ingredient portfolio with certified sustainable palm derivate produce, Iberchem can now offer customers the ability to validate their commitment to sustainable palm. Customers can now state “contains sustainable palm oil” on final product packaging to prove their use of sustainable palm.

Transforming the fragrance industry supply chain

“I am thrilled Iberchem can now provide sustainable fragrance solutions certified by RSPO under the Mass Balance Model,” says Paola Armengol, Global Regulatory Manager at Iberchem. “Implementation of important, impactful, global requirements, as outlined by key stakeholders, shows we are transforming the supply chain for sustainable palm in the fragrance industry.”

Iberchem shares in this responsibility to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm. Becoming RSPO certified, Iberchem is working towards a better future for all as they take responsibility for its impact on the palm supply chain and contribute to empowering palm-producing communities.

“The RSPO certification was a key milestone in our sustainability programme, which covers every step of our value chain, from sourcing to shipping,” says Guillaume Audy, Corporate Communications and Sustainability Director at Iberchem. “The origin of our raw materials is as important to us as the sustainability of our finished products and the impact of our operations. This certification also contributes to the objective of our parent company, Croda, to become Nature positive by 2030 and to its overall commitment to be Climate, Land, and People Positive in the same period of time.”

Putting the planet first

RSPO is a global a non-profit, multi stakeholder organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable palm oil production worldwide, for Mass Balance production at its site. Attaining this certification empowers Iberchem to build on its Green Future seal by developing its sustainable fragrance solutions further with certified sustainable palm oil.

Re-enforcing the company’s dedication to the planet and its people, compliance with RSPO standards will ensure Iberchem has minimal impact on the planet and a positive impact on producing communities worldwide.
