CERTIFYING SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL
We believe that offering sustainable palm oil products to our customers is not only a matter of accountability but
also an assurance on our commitment to responsible production practices.

Apical places great importance on certifying our operations under applicable national schemes and international
certifications – such as the RSPO and ISCC. By doing so, we can demonstrate our commitment to provide
sustainable products while supporting the broader industry efforts in improving the sustainability practices of
the palm oil sector.

Apical has been an active
member of RSPO since 2011, and
we have consistently reported on our
sustainability efforts through the RSPO
Annual Communications of Progress (ACOP)
since 2014

100% of our refinery
has been RSPO certified,
as of 2023 Our target is to achieve RSPO or ISCC certification
for all of our processing facilities where feasible,
based on the certifications which is applicable to the
10.13% of our palm oil and palm operational facility. As of December 2023, 100% of
products processed are certified by our existing refineries have been RSPO Certified. We
