Maintaining strong local community relationships is essential to our business success

Equatorial Palm Oil and the Community

Equatorial Palm Oil's approach to responsible business focuses on five areas: the environment, health and safety; our employees; the local communities in which we operate; and business conduct.

EPO is also a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). As part of our commitments as an RSPO member, we are developing policies and procedures in line with  RPSO’s eight principles and 39 criteria, recognised as being industry best practice. We consider this approach a significant investment in the long-term supply of sustainable crude palm oil and the biodiversity of our area of operation in Liberia.
