Since 2018, Palm Done Right has celebrated Palm Done Right Month during September as a way to acknowledge the importance of organic palm oil harvesting and all of our incredible partners who take part in this mission.
Each year, this observance empowers us to showcase the benefits of sustainably sourcing palm oil, educating consumers and brands alike so we can continue spreading our message.
When you think of palm oil, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For many, palm oil is seen as a product that has a negative impact on the environment. However, for all of us at Palm Done Right, we know that palm oil is full of endless possibilities.

ACTIVELY HELPS THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY ALLEVIATING POVERTY AND BUILDING COMMUNITIES THROUGH SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL FARMING PRACTICES
Many people are familiar with the term, but they aren’t quite sure what it actually signifies. The land where a crop is grown and the various facilities where it is handled and processed all play a role in this distinction. Organic crops do not contain any toxic, synthetic pesticides or fertilizers; synthetic growth hormones; artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives; or GMO ingredients.
Not only are organic products-including organic palm oil-better for us, but they are also better for the environment. Organic practices help to reduce our carbon footprint and combat climate change, two crucial aspects of caring for the ecosystem where these crops are grown. Crop rotation and cover crops are also important aspects of this process that increase biodiversity.
We asked our valued partners why they opt to use ethical sourced and produced oil instead of the harmful alternatives. Here’s how they responded!
