Ferrero buys only segregated, sustainable palm oil, which is 40% more expensive than the non-sustainable alternative. Ferrero's Palm Oil Charter, cooperation with the UN (UN Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative), their company foundation and a group of ambassadors ensure that sustainability remains a critically important part of the company’s strategy. Ferrero's Farming Value Standard consists of 18 indicators, which is unprecedented in the industry.
