Our "Palm Oil Dashboard" states the following

To promote supply chain transparency, Kao regularly obtains latest traceability data from suppliers and discloses the list of mills on Kao’s supply chain. Kao identifies the location of mills on mill map and monitors and verifies the risk of illegal deforestation since our cut-off date of November, 2018 and the development of carbon dioxide-rich peatlands by means of the satellite monitoring data from GLOBAL FOREST WATCH and EARTH DATA NASA, information of peatland from PROTECTED PLANET within a range of 50 km from a palm oil mill, NDPE survey to suppliers and information from NGOs. When finding risks, Kao requests suppliers to confirm situations, make improvements and confirm improvement status. In addition, we regularly exchange information with our major suppliers to confirm the latest monitoring status of grievances and to strengthen our supply chain's compliance with NDPE. Moreover, Kao conducts a Palm Oil Forest Footprint assessment partnering with Earthworm Foundation, an international non-profit organization that supports the development of sustainable supply chains, to gain a deeper understanding of the risks and opportunities within our palm oil supply chain. By understanding the environmental risks such as forest and peatland development in our sourcing areas, as well as the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities in customary land, Kao aims to formulate strategies for a sustainable supply chain.
