Wynnstay is actively supporting the sustainable production of palm by using a book and claim system to cover the raw materials we use. All palm kernel used by Wynnstay is covered in this way via the AICS Palm Oil Credit Scheme. This system supports palm producers of all sizes in using sustainable production methods and works towards having fully traceable and certified sustainable raw materials.
The switch is part of a company-wide proactive approach to sustainability. Farmers are working hard to produce food using sustainable practices, and responsible sourcing of inputs is a big part of this. As a feed company, we can contribute by transitioning to sustainable-certified ingredients, which will support our farmers in meeting future sustainability requirements. Switching to sustainably certified palm kernel is the logical next step in ensuring responsible sourcing, following the move to using only sustainable certified soya in 2020.
