Regarding the use of palm oil by the food chains, we have adopted the following assessment spectrum and best practices in order from best (1) to least negative impact (3):

1) Elimination of palm oil, replacing it wherever possible with "" sustainable "" fats, of proximity and free from deforestation, such as sunflower or rapeseed oil
2) Use of organic palm oil
3) Use of RSPO certified palm oil (CSPO)

We consider the best practice regarding the use of palm oil to eliminate it, replacing it with healthier and more environmentally sustainable vegetable fats such as sunflower oil, ... above the use of certified palm oil, which we estimate should be second option, for those products in which the substitution of palm fat is technically more complicated.

The CSPO (Certified Sustainable Palm Oil) certification of the Round Table for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) establishes criteria and auditing systems that aim to ensure that production respects labor rights and indigenous communities, that new areas are not occupied of high environmental value and that biodiversity is not threatened, in addition to promoting cleaner agricultural practices. Now, according to the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU), this organization fulfills its objectives, but with nuances:

- It is valid for new plantations, but it does not solve the problems created in the past by companies that are now members of the RSPO.
- It can be improved, since there are aspects such as climate change or the prohibition of especially dangerous pesticides, such as paraquat, that have not yet been addressed.
- Impact studies have not yet been carried out to guarantee that they really represent an improvement on the ground.
