For these palm-based ingredients, we achieved the following in partnership with Earthworm Foundation: Verified that 87% of our palm oil and palm-based derivatives suppliers have No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (NDPE) policies in place consistent with our own. • Maintained 100% certification, through Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification schemes, for the palm oil and palm kernel oil that serves as feedstock to our derivatives, based on 2020 volumes. • Increased our purchases from RSPO certified physical supply chains from 13% to 24% of our total annual volume"

"Forest partnership: We have completed the first full year of our multi-year partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), whose mission is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. In the first year of our partnership with WWF, we laid the foundation for advancing innovations in sustainable palm oil production done at a scale that supports forests, wildlife, and long-term community wellbeing."

"Partnership with EcoHealth Alliance In 2018, we initiated two new multi-year partnerships with EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit working at the intersection of animal, environmental, and human health on a global scale, and World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Our project with the EcoHealth Alliance will pioneer the development of a “One Health” policy framework for making land use decisions that consider socioeconomic factors together with environmental and human health outcomes. This work is initially focused on Liberia, which has significant remaining intact forests. Our work with WWF includes advancing a jurisdictional approach to sustainable palm oil production in Southeast Asia and embedding human health dynamics into the development of Science Based Targets for Forests."

"We work closely with our direct suppliers to implement our sourcing criteria in their own supply chains. As primarily a derivatives buyer, we are multiple links in the chain away from the original source of palm oil and palm kernel oil that serve as feedstocks for what will eventually become an ingredient in our products. A critical step, therefore, is to engage the suppliers with which we have the greatest volumes to adopt their own sourcing criteria, which they in turn may cascade up the supply chain. [...] We monitor supplier and producer performance to verify conformance to our responsible palm oil sourcing criteria using a wide range of technologies and partners. Central to this is our work with EF to gain access to source information that our suppliers deem sensitive and confidential. There are also instances where we may pilot and support technology solutions to gather data and risk assess sources in partnership with our suppliers."

"Non compliance processes are detailed in - "Johnson & Johnson Responsible Palm Oil Sourcing Criteria: Process for Managing Non conformance " [...] "In the rare cases where we have determined high risk or verified non-conformance to our Responsible Palm Oil Sourcing Criteria, we have engaged those sources in our non-conformance process."
