Daemeter Consulting is partnering with Proforest and the Rainforest Alliance to support the development and implementation of sustainable production and responsible sourcing for palm oil producers, traders, manufacturers, and other supply chain actors, globally. Together the team offers a comprehensive range of services and unrivalled levels of technical and practical expertise at all levels of the supply chain.
Actors in the palm oil sector are facing increasing demands from customers and stakeholders to eliminate deforestation and shift towards traceable and more transparent supply chains. Our collaboration with Proforest and the Rainforest Alliance allows us to provide holistic services for the palm oil sector, with technical and operational staff located globally including ground support in all of the major palm oil producing and consuming regions. Within these regions, the consortium has established relationships and partnerships with key stakeholders, including governments and NGOs, which are fundamental to success and enable us to deliver our services effectively and efficiently.
Our track record for both technical and practical support, and our combined experience spanning many decades and a wide range of disciplines, can be tailored to meet the needs and objectives of our clients.
With offices and staff located in Africa, South America and Southeast Asia, as well as Europe and the US, our team has in-depth knowledge and understanding of producer regions, consumer markets and their stakeholder networks, and can deliver fast and cost-effective support to companies throughout the supply chain.
