“Chemistry Gone Green, 25 by 25” – Maha is on an expedition to turn 25% of our businesses Green by 2025, from the smallest things like e-Waste bins to massive projects like eco-friendly chemistry and alternative fuels. In 2021, we have joined the RSPO membership as part of our sustainability initiative. We officially obtained the RSPO distributor license in 23rd March 2021.
RSPO, also known as the roundtable on sustainable palm oil, aims to transform markets to make sustainable palm oil the norm. It is a non-profit organization comprising of oil palm growers, palm oil processors and traders, consumer goods manufacturers, environmental NGOs, social NGOs, banks/investors and retailers. The RSPO guidelines state that producers should respect and consider local people, guarantee that no ‘high conservation value’ (HCV) areas are cleared, and minimise environmental impacts of production.
Following these principles and criteria can help to minimise the negative impacts of palm oil cultivation on the environment and communities.
