Sustainability – RSPO
KLK Kolb is a subsidiary of Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad (KLK), a prominent international plantation group headquartered in Malaysia. This affiliation ensures that KLK Kolb is back-integrated for most of the fatty acids used in the production of our sorbitan esters and polysorbates.
KLK was a founding member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) in 2004 and played a significant role in developing a comprehensive Sustainability Policy in 2014. This policy, based on the RSPO’s Principles and Criteria (P&C), emphasizes commitments to No Deforestation, No Peat, and No Exploitation (NDPE).
As a result, KLK Kolb offers all sorbitan esters and polysorbates in RSPO mass balance (MB) grade where applicable.
