AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - More food makers should commit to only using palm oil that is certified as sustainable to help raise environmental standards in the industry, the head of palm oil processor Loders Croklaan Europe said on Wednesday.
Some food groups such as Unilever and Nestle have made pledges to gradually switch to sourcing all palm oil from sustainably certified sources, but many other manufacturers and retailers are yet to follow.
"It could be faster," Loek Favre, chief operating officer at Loders Croklaan Europe, said in an interview.
