At One Nine Nine, we’re proud to work with leaders in sustainability. 

So we’re excited to announce that our client, DAABON, has launched the world’s first carbon-neutral organic palm oil, a milestone for the palm oil industry. 

With the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) coming into force at the end of the year, many palm oil companies are scrambling to comply. However, DAABON has set a new benchmark by going above and beyond compliance with their carbon-neutral palm oil.
‍
DAABON’s carbon-neutral organic palm oil has a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculated CO2eq of -977kg per tonne. That compares extremely favourably to industry averages, including for certified sustainable palm oil, making it ideal for palm oil users serious about sustainability and cutting their Scope 3 carbon emissions. 
‍
The carbon-neutral organic palm oil comes from Daabon’s CI Tequendama SAS mill in northern Colombia. You can find out more details on their LCA here https://www.daabon.com/en/sustainability_studies.

The move comes as the palm oil industry makes significant strides in sustainability, driven by voluntary certification schemes like the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and new legislation like the upcoming European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

Introducing the first carbon-neutral palm oil represents another huge step forward, as Manuel Davila, MD of DAABON UK and EU, explains:

“Tackling the carbon footprint is the natural next step in making palm oil truly sustainable – and we’re delighted to have achieved this milestone. We genuinely believe that DAABON carbon-neutral palm oil sets the gold standard for sustainability worldwide.
‍
“Our next step is to replicate this at our other refinery, with the eventual goal of making all the palm oil we offer become carbon-negative and climate-positive. Of course, there is still some way to go to cut the emissions associated with onward transport and global shipping – but it’s a fantastic start that will help our customers to cut their Scope 3 emissions and drive significant sustainability improvements.”
‍
DAABON is firmly committed to sustainability, providing fully traceable to the farm, organic, certified sustainable and EUDR-compliant palm oil. The company holds a series of sustainability accreditations, including RSPO, Fair Trade, Regenerative Organic Certification, Organic Certification, and Non-GMO Project. 

And we’re delighted to be working with them on the launch of their carbon-neutral palm oil as they continue to lead the way in sustainable palm oil.
