Certifications

At Natural Habitats we take our third-party certifications seriously, and we are always working to ensure our certification status is up-to-date and compliant across all operations of our company. As we believe in transparency, we regularly post our external studies and certification updates to share, and communicate the work we are doing to further the Palm Done Right movement.

Farmers Receive Key Training and Technical Advice

To build knowledge and capacity in our farmers, we support a wide variety of educational programs. We train farmers on best practices in organic growing methods like composting, under-cropping and how to sustainably increase the amount of palm fruit they grow.

In keeping with our commitment to fair trade practices, we also train farmers on labor issues like health and safety, employment equity and relevant labor legislation.

Meeting the high standards of several certifications is hard work. Each has different criteria, and all must be strictly followed to the letter. We walk farmers through the rules for each certification, and make sure they’re ready for annual reviews. We ensure that they stay up to date on guideline and requirement changes. Maintaining their certification status boosts their income because farmers receive a premium price from growing palm fruit organically.

Transparent Supply Chains Backed by Trusted Certifications

Our supply chain is fully traceable and transparent. Unlike most palm oil producers, we use the Identity The preserved model under RSPO certification. We know exactly which farm each batch of palm oil comes from, and guarantee that the oil is physically isolated from other palm oil throughout the entire supply chain. Most other palm oil producers use the Mass Balance model, which allows the mixing of RSPO-certified with non-certified oils at any point in the supply chain.

A key part of our commitment to transparency, fair trade practices, and organic growing methods is our strong list of third-party certifications. Palm oil products go on quite a journey to get from our farms to product manufacturers and formulators. After being organically grown on farms in Ecuador, palm products travel through Ecuadorian mills, processing, and storage facilities before traveling to our United States and European warehouses via cargo ship. The next stop? Shipping directly to customers across our markets.

Our palm oil products meet some of the strictest organic guidelines in the WORLD

These include USDA Organic, European Union Organic certifications and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil Organic rules go far beyond farming, ensuring that the highest standards are maintained throughout every step of farming, harvesting, processing, packaging and shipping
