60 About Strategy and Governance Our People Our Business Our Outcome AppendixReducing the Impact of Palm Oil CultivationBeyond these general rules, we pay particular attention to the issue of palm oil, a product which is used in our trading business and our manufacturing activities to a minor extent. Although palm oil plays only a marginal role in our business activities, we actively strive to manage the environmental and social risks associated with this product. DKSH is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). We hold one RSPO certification (Indonesia) and 16 RSPO distributor licenses (European and Asian markets). In 2023, we added eight new distributor licenses for our Business Unit Performance Materials in the Philippines, Germany, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Benelux, Italy and Great Britain. We are currently developing additional DKSH markets as RSPO candidates, proving that we are committed to and comply with the organization%u2019s sustainability requirements. Additionally, we will review and integrate the RSPO membership of our 2023 acquisition, Georg Breuer GmbH (GBFI), a German distributor of plant-based ingredients for the food industry under the DKSH Holding RSPO umbrella.Moreover, we submit the required Annual Communication on Progress (ACOP) at the Group level for all DKSH entities involved under the RSPO.
