Traceability
We are committed to implementing traceability tools for greater transparency in our supply chain.
Our Group ensures that its commitments to sustainability and responsible management apply equally to all of its suppliers (including smallholders from whom we purchase wet rubber or fresh fruit bunches).
Since then, we have developed traceability tools that allow us to identify and locate the production plots of all our partner smallholders and this traceability will be progressively extended to our entire supply chain and its intermediaries: cooperatives, buyers, etc., which will allow us to evolve our traceability from level 1 to level 3.
Indeed, to date, we have 100% traceability of our supplies of “level 1”, both for fresh fruit bunches and rubber, and actions are being implemented to gradually reach 100% traceability for the 3 “levels”.
These actions have already enabled us, since 2019, to start carrying over the traceability elements for the most demanding levels (2 and 3).

Level 3: same as level 2 and maps of all the smallholders’ plots, who deliver directly to the Socfin palm oil processing factories or through dealers.
