What is GreenPalm?

GreenPalm operates the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) Book and Claim supply chain option. The supply chain option is one of four provided by the RSPO to either support or use certified palm oil and palm kernel oil. 

RSPO supply chain certification is valid for organisations past the palm oil mill.

Book and Claim / B&C (GreenPalm)

GreenPalm is a certificate trading programme that allows manufacturers and retailers to purchase GreenPalm certificates from an RSPO certified palm oil grower to offset each tonne of palm oil, palm kernel oil they use. RSPO certified palm oil growers can convert their certified tonnage into certificates, each tonne converts to one GreenPalm certificate. Palm oil, palm kernel oil and palm kernel expeller certificates are available. 

This means that there is no guarantee that the end product contains certified sustainable palm oil, but this option directly supports RSPO certified growers and farmers. It also allows organisations to support sustainable palm oil instantly despite complicated supply chains or the use of complex palm and palm kernel fractions and derivatives. 

RSPO claim: Supporting, GreenPalm logo.

Identity Preserved / IP

View RSPO IP supply chain graphic

Certified sustainable palm oil is physically separated from other certified and non-certified palm oil throughout the supply chain, i.e. from the RSPO certified mill through to the end user. 

The end user is able to trace the certified sustainable palm oil back to a specific single mill and its supply base (plantations). This level of traceability is costly, and is mainly used for high-end organic products.  

RSPO claim: Using certified oil, RSPO contains trademark. 

Segregated / SG

View RSPO graphic showing SG supply chain

Like the identity preserved option, certified sustainable palm oil is physically separated from non-certified palm oil throughout the supply chain. However, the end user is only able to trace the certified sustainable palm oil back to a group of possible mills and their supply bases (plantations).

This option guarantees that the end product contains certified sustainable palm oil, but it can be expensive to keep certified and non-certified palm oil separate throughout the supply chain, particularly through various complex fractionation and blending processes.

RSPO claim: Using certified oil, RSPO contains trademark. 

Mass Balance / MB

View RSPO graphic showing MB supply chain

Certified sustainable palm oil and non-certified palm oil is mixed to avoid the costs of keeping the two separate. The refinery is only allowed to sell the same amount of Mass Balance palm oil as the amount of certified sustainable palm oil purchased.

This means that there is no guarantee that the end product contains certified sustainable palm oil. However, this option supports certified sustainable palm oil through mixing, and the oil is consumed somewhere by someone. 

RSPO claim: Supporting, RSPO mixed trademark.
