Vitae Naturals receives RSPO certification
As a socially responsible company, Vitae Naturals (VN) has committed to use palm-derived ingredients from sustainable sources
As a socially responsible company, Vitae Naturals (VN) has committed to use palm-derived ingredients from sustainable sources. As such, VN has recently received RSPO certification (Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil) for its production process according to the stringent ‘RSPO Principles and Criteria.’
This means that all ingredients containing palm oil derivatives are sourced from an RSPO mass balance mixed-source supply chain.
Compliance with RSPO standards is guaranteed throughout the entire supply chain using RSPO-certified products. Audits are done annually by an accredited company to prevent overselling and mixing palm oil with conventional (or non-sustainable) oil palm products.
VN’s RSPO certification (BMT-RSPO-0005000) has been issued by an accredited certification body (BM Trada). From now on, VN will claim the use of RSPO-certified sustainable oil palm products by using the RSPO trademark.
VN’s RSPO certification was been obtained by completing the following steps since 2014:
- VN became a supply chain associate (SCA) and applied for RSPO membership (9-0796-14-000-00)
- VN committed to sourcing 100% RSPO ingredients from mass balance supply chains by 2015
- RSPO certification in 2016.
