Olam Palm Gabon, a 60:40 joint venture with the Republic of Gabon, is the largest Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certified producer in Africa with an overall concession area of 144,000 ha, with over 50% (72,000 ha) of High Conservation Value (HCV) forest, wetlands and savannah permanently protected.
Its plantations are the only ones globally to have been independently assessed as climate positive (net draw-down of atmospheric carbon) and it was recognised at the inaugural 2019 RSPO Excellence Awards for its strong commitment to establishing sustainable oil palm plantations that generate net positive impacts through forest conservation.
Olam Palm Gabon operates three palm oil mills to produce crude palm oil from fresh fruit bunches coming from these plantations as well as one edible oil refinery where it refines crude palm oil to produce cooking oil which is sold in consumer packs directly to service the local Gabonese market.
