Using Palm Oil for the Greater Good
At Daabon, we are conscious of the need to operate in an environmentally-aware way, and are extremely proud of the promises we have made not only to the land we use – but the communities tied to it.
Through implementing our sustainable policies such as Biodiversity Protection, Zero Deforestation and Zero Land Grab, we are doing everything we can to protect the natural environment and support the lives of local communities in line with the COP26 goals.
These include preventing the loss of flora and fauna within our areas of operation, preserving small tracts of remaining primary and secondary forest in the region and taking active steps to empower our communities by being against land grabbing and displacement.
Smallholder Programme
We’re also helping more than 500 family farmers in Norther Colombia through Alliances For Peace – our smallholder programme.
After being displaced by conflict, we’ve helped these families to return to the region, and are providing opportunities to build a livelihood in the region by growing sustainable palm and cocoa.
In addition to technical support to ensure they can develop and implement sustainable practices, we also offer favourable credit terms to ensure they can thrive. The programme is independently monitored through the Fairtrade and RSPO programmes to ensure that it’s delivering better lives for people in our region.

The need for change has never been so urgent, and the four goals presented by COP26 offer a real opportunity for the world to address the challenges of climate change and begin to make a real difference.
We look forward to continuing our own actions of sustainability, and seeing the positive changes that the summit inspires.
