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

• Full 20 points: A company needsto commit to purchase palm oil that does not come from new conversion of peatlands and if sourcing from existing plantations on peat, ensure that those plantations use best management practices (BMPs) that are at least as strong as those of the RSPO. The BMPs requirement can be fulfilled by committing to physically source 100% CSPO or sustainable palm oil.
• 15 points: A company has a vague commitment to peatland protection OR it only commits to not sourcing from new conversion.
• 5 points: A company commits to physically source 100% CSPO or sustainable palm oil.
