Companies were evaluated based on their commitment to source palm oil that does not contribute to deforestation for a maximum of 20 points awarded as follows:

Full 20 points: A company needs to commit to protecting all forests and include language referring to secondary, disturbed, or high carbon stock forests.

10 points: A company has a vague commitment to forest protection OR commits to protection of HCV or primary forests OR commits to physically sourcing 100% CSPO or sustainable palm oil.
