Total Palm Oil Score
About the data
Companies worldwide can and should be using 100% sustainable palm oil, as certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
The 2013 Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard assesses the performance of 130 major retailers, food service companies and consumer goods and other manufacturers worldwide on their use of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO).
This year’s Scorecard – the third WWF has produced – features companies from Europe, Australia, Japan, the US and India.

This metric indicates what the companies' total Palm Oil Score is out of 12.
This year (2013), WWF assessed companies on their commitment to CSPO, how much CSPO they use, whether they disclose their palm oil use, whether they are members of the RSPO and if they have a policy on reducing GHG emissions in their supply chain. How did WWF assess the companies in the Scorecard?
