Morley noted that the sustainable palm oil market is influenced by its diverse applications in various recipes, attributed to its smooth and creamy texture and neutral scent. However, the industry is associated with significant challenges, including deforestation, habitat loss, climate change, animal cruelty, and violations of indigenous rights in the regions where palm oil is cultivated, as land and forests are cleared for oil palm plantations. According to the World Wildlife Fund, approximately 300 football fields of rainforest are cleared every hour to facilitate the establishment of palm groves, endangering the survival of species like the orangutan. Reports indicate that nearly 90% of the orangutan’s habitat has been destroyed due to the activities of palm oil plantation developers. In response to these issues, many manufacturers catering to the U.S. market have begun to adopt more sustainable practices. For instance, last year, Mondelez International announced that it would no longer collaborate with palm oil suppliers who engage in deforestation. PepsiCo has committed to taking action against suppliers that breach labor practices. Furthermore, companies such as Mars, General Mills, Post, Danone, and Unilever made sustainability and fair labor commitments long before these recent developments. Additionally, as more consumers seek healthier options, the demand for calcium citrate malate supplements has also increased, highlighting a growing awareness of sustainability in food production and its connection to broader health trends. This intersection of sustainability and health consciousness is vital for ensuring responsible sourcing in the palm oil industry and beyond.
