Neste's traceability dashboard

Neste's traceability dashboard provides detailed information on key aspects of our palm oil and palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) supply chains.

We do not own any oil palm plantations, nor operate any palm oil refineries. Instead, we source from carefully selected, responsible suppliers that are committed to certification and principles of sustainability. All the palm oil we have used has been fully traceable to the plantation level since 2007, and 100% certified since 2013. 

PFAD is a processing residue that represents a very small proportion of a refineries overall production volume. This results in a PFAD supply chain that is both extensive and complex. All the PFAD we have used has been traceable according to the regulations in our markets. Since April 2017, we have been working towards developing traceability for our entire PFAD supply chain to oil palm plantations, and made significant progress in this work.

Sustainability embedded in our everyday business

Our portfolio of more than 10 sustainable renewable raw materials, palm oil and PFAD included, enables us to produce renewable products that help our customers and the society to reduce crude oil dependency and climate emissions. An extensive raw material base provides flexibility, as it allows us to respond to the needs of different markets and customers.

In recent years, we have focused on increasing the use of waste and residue raw materials. They account for over 80% of our annual renewable raw material inputs globally, while we continue to explore also other types of raw materials to diversify our raw material portfolio even further.
