Transition to Sustainable Palm-Derived Ingredients

Amorepacific Group deeply sympathizes with the deforestation caused by indiscriminate cultivation of palm farms, including the outbreak of endangered species, greenhouse gas emissions, and human rights issues in the supply process. Accordingly, we support the efforts for the sustainable use of palm oil throughout the industry through RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) system and strive to expand the purchase of palm oil that is sustainably produced without deforestation.

Amorepacific Group uses about 23,000 tons of palm oil and palm (kernel)-derived raw materials annually as raw materials for cosmetics and household products such as fatty acids, glycerol, and surfactants. Together with our suppliers, we are making efforts to convert the raw materials we use into RSPO-certified raw materials.

Since 2018, 100% of the palm-based ingredients Amorepacific sources for its products are RSPO certified through a combination of RSPO certified palm oil derivatives and RSPO Book & Claim palm oil credits. In 2023, Amorepacific converted 91.5% of its palm-derived ingredients to RSPO-certified ingredients.

Through Sustainability Management Guidelines for Suppliers., Amorepacific Group calls for its suppliers to prevent deforestation and excessive conversion through palm farm reclamation, and to respect local laws and human rights of residents.
