European private sector organizations joined forces to ensure a fully sustainable palm oil supply chain in Europe by 2020.
In December 2015, at the EU and Global Value Chains’ high-level conference, the Commitment to Support 100% Sustainable Palm Oil in Europe was presented to the Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Lilianne Ploumen. The Netherlands with four other European countries (Denmark, France, Germany, United Kingdom) declared governmental support by presenting the Amsterdam Palm Oil Declaration.
