Our Environmental Commitment

Since Oleofinos origin our focus and commitment has been to produce ingredients and finished goods in harmony with nature and people.

This is the reason why we look for a responsible sourcing thru all the chain, centering in the next priorities:

Responsible sourcing

Sustainable production

Environmental impact reduction

Community engagement

Traceability is the transparent and documented tracking of processes, activities, and supply chains to ensure responsible practices from origin to destination, aligned with environmental, social, and economic sustainability criteria.

At Oleofinos, we are committed to transparency. In addition to having policies and procedures aimed at improving the visibility and traceability of our supply chain to meet the company’s various sustainability commitments (NDPE, RSPO, etc.), we also publicly share the traceability of our raw materials through our annual traceability and sustainability reports, available on this site: click here.

The traceability of our raw materials is audited and monitored via satellite by NGOs.

The RSPO, is a global non-profit organisation that works to transform the palm oil industry into a sustainable one.

To achieve this goal, it brings together stakeholders from all across thee palm oil value chain to develop and implement global standards to produce and obtain certified sustainable palm oil.

Oleofinos was the first national company to be certified in Mexico and our sister company, Oleopalma, was the first oil extractor and farms in Mexico to obtain the same certificate. Standards under which we currently operate.

This is an environmental metric that calculates the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated—directly and indirectly—by a person, group, organization, company, or even a product or service.

The importance of measuring the carbon footprint lies in understanding how GHG emissions contribute to global warming and accelerate climate change.

At Oleofinos, we operate under the GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Protocol to ensure accurate measurement of our emissions, and we follow the SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) to define improvement strategies that will lead us to Net Zero by 2050.

This is an indicator of the volume of water used, both directly and indirectly, to produce something. Like the carbon footprint, it highlights the consumption of this vital resource with the goal of optimizing processes and reducing water use.
Currently, Oleofinos is developing several projects focused on reducing water usage in our production processes.

It is an agricultural approach centered on restoring soil quality through the adoption of sustainable practices. The goal is to reverse soil disturbance, increase biodiversity, and enhance farms productivity by incorporating current scientific knowledge about soil health and crops nutrition, thereby mitigating climate change.

At Oleofinos, we have begun this joint journey with smallholders and the rest of our suppliers toward regenerative agriculture. Some of the best practices we have implemented include the use of organic products for soil fertilization, such as vermicompost, the use of natural pest control mechanisms, and the implementation of cover crops to reduce soil erosion. This is possible due to permanent training, especially among smallholders, to maintain and/or expand these practices.

One of the main concerns for companies is the preservation and responsible, conscious use of the natural resources they operate with. That is why many companies, including Oleofinos, have adopted NDPE commitments (No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation).

These commitments define the company’s policies, procedures, and systems to achieve that goal. In addition to having internal mechanisms in place, Oleofinos works with the Starling system by Earthworm and Airbus—an independent verification tool that provides forest mapping and enables greater traceability of the plantations used by our suppliers.

Various studies have shown that the intake of fatty acid esters such as 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) and glycidyl esters (GE) may be harmful to health.

These components can be present if proper processes and practices are not followed from palm fruit harvesting to oil refining. For this reason, Oleofinos implements a process that involves and safeguards the entire supply chain. We also use state-of-the-art equipment to monitor and verify the quality and safety of our products.

Also, we have a holistic program in which we integrate smallholders to the sustainable palm oil supply chain and aim to promote sustainable development throughout the entire chain. This includes promoting good agricultural practices and promoting RSPO certification at different levels of the supply chain.
