The latest update from Action for Sustainable Derivatives (ASD), BSR's collaborative initiative driven by palm oil derivatives users to transform their supply chains, shows that a centralized, collective approach to enhancing transparency, boosting engagement, and identifying risks is working.

Highlights include collective transparency for 825,000 tons of palm-based materials—nearly double the volume covered during the first year of ASD. This represents around 1.1 percent of the global palm production and 20-25 percent of the palm kernel oil-based oleochemicals market.
