What is Huel doing about deforestation?

Explains Huel's approach to deforestation risk, including its no-palm-oil policy and RSPO certification requirements for high-risk ingredients.

Written by Jamie Forbes

Huel takes deforestation risk seriously and actively manages it through ingredient sourcing decisions and supplier requirements.

No palm oil

Huel does not use palm oil in any of its products. Palm oil production is one of the leading drivers of tropical deforestation, so eliminating it entirely removes a significant deforestation risk from Huel's supply chain.

Sourcing standards for high-risk ingredients

For ingredients that could be linked to deforestation — such as soy — Huel requires RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) or equivalent certification to ensure that sustainable farming practices are in place. Huel regularly reviews ingredient sourcing to identify and reduce exposure to high-risk agricultural areas.

Ongoing supply chain review

Huel's sustainability team continuously assesses the supply chain for new deforestation risks as product ranges evolve. Where risks are identified, Huel works with suppliers to apply responsible sourcing standards or find alternative ingredients.

Huel's goal is to ensure that choosing Huel does not contribute to the destruction of forests or loss of biodiversity anywhere in its supply chain.
