Palm Oil FAQ
Inquiring Minds Promote Change.
We have been getting some great questions and want to share them!
Please feel free to contact us with any comments.
Q: Are the companies considered safe for orangutans and the rainforest on the Palm Oil Shopping Guide App labeling their products as containing palm oil only from sustainable plantations? If not do they plan to do so?
Q: How do you know if an RSPO member company is using certified sustainable palm oil?
Q: Who is certifying the sustainable plantations or is the RSPO just going on their word?
Q: Why are there mixed messages, depending on which conservation organization you talk to, about the best way to help orangutans?
Q: Can we use Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s palm oil information, graphics, or website content to help promote palm oil awareness in our community and/or at our organization?
Q: Can you give me an idea of what is required to become a RSPO member and what our zoo would be bound to if we do become a member? Cost logistics would be helpful also.
Q: Many companies (like Farley’s and Sathers) claim that they source all of their palm oil from suppliers who are members of RSPO. Why are they not on your Palm Oil Shopping Guide App?
