Julia Beier, Beiersdorf: Palm oil and palm (kernel) oil derivatives are an important raw material for our skin care products and for the cosmetics industry in general. At Beiersdorf, we do not use palm oil directly in our product formulas, but rather so-called derivatives. These are substances further developed from palm oil, such as emulsifiers or surfactants, which are essential for the manufacture of some cleansing and care products.

Victoria Müller, WWF: We at WWF Germany think it is very good and important that Beiersdorf has been addressing the issue of sustainable palm oil for several years now. The Sustainable Palm Roadmap, which Beiersdorf has defined and consistently pursues, also includes local engagement. Together, we support smallholders in Indonesia, the world's largest palm oil growing region, in managing their plantations more sustainably.
