Beauty company Avon Products, Inc. is the first in the industry to commit to 100 percent certified sustainable palm oil.

Although Avon is not a major user of palm oil (less than 100 tons annually), the company has made the commitment to purchase GreenPalm certificates covering all of its global palm oil use beginning in July. The certificates help drive demand for sustainable palm oil, increase the supply for sustainable palm oil, and maintain biodiversity and habitat for endangered species.
