Huel takes a proactive approach to reducing its contribution to deforestation through ingredient sourcing policies and certification requirements.
Huel's Approach to Deforestation
Action | Detail |
No palm oil | Huel does not use palm oil — one of the leading drivers of tropical deforestation globally |
Regular sourcing reviews | Huel regularly reviews its ingredient sourcing to identify and reduce exposure to high-risk areas linked to deforestation |
Certification requirements | Where crops could be linked to deforestation, Huel requires RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) or equivalent certification to ensure sustainable farming practices |
What Is RSPO Certification?
RSPO is an internationally recognised standard for sustainable sourcing. Requiring RSPO or equivalent certification from suppliers helps ensure that:
Crops are grown without clearing forests or destroying habitats
Farming practices meet environmental and social sustainability standards
Supply chains are transparent and accountable
The Bigger Picture
By avoiding palm oil entirely and requiring certification for higher-risk ingredients, Huel aims to ensure its supply chain does not contribute to habitat destruction or biodiversity loss.
