Due to new legislation, the forum is currently discussing a revision of our voluntary commitment and the additional criteria. The following can apply for membership:  <\/p>\n<p>Industrial and trading companies, individual companies, organisations that produce and use palm oil, palm kernel oil or corresponding derivatives in products, as well as their associations;<\/p>\n<p>Non-governmental organisations, trade unions, churches, standard-setting organisations, scientific institutions, as well as all institutions not listed here that have a demonstrable interest in certified palm oil and palm kernel oil or corresponding derivatives<\/p>\n<p>Companies that work exclusively in the production, further processing and trade of oleo-derivatives or fractions can become supporters. As a supporter, you agree with FONAP\u2019s goals and provide significant support to the association in achieving them. You commit to this in the supporters\u2019 voluntary commitment.  <\/p>\n<p>Supporting members provide financial support for individual FONAP activities.
