The purchase of sustainable raw materials adhering to a No Deforestation, No Peatlands, No Exploitation (NDPE) Policy contributes to environmental protection by helping achieve the goal of zero deforestation. As part of this public commitment to increase transparency in our supply chain, LIPSA has been disclosing traceability data for our palm oil and derivatives supply chain since 2017. By 2025, we have achieved 100% traceability back to the plantation. On the other hand, our efforts against deforestation began much earlier. In order to comply with the EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) and to ensure a sustainable supply chain based on the protection of forests and biodiversity, we have focused on achieving a 100% verified deforestation-free palm oil supply chain by 2025. |

| In 2019, LIPSA took a decisive step forward by transforming its Huelva refinery into the largest plant of its kind for processing any type of raw material, whether vegetable oils, waste, or C3 animal fats, for use in biofuel. Our refinery in Huelva is the largest advanced biofuel feedstock pretreatment plant in Europe, with a capacity of 1.1 million tons. At our facilities, we process waste such as palm oil mill effluent (POME), used cooking oil (UCO), and category 3 animal fats, as well as vegetable oils. These materials are distributed for use in the manufacture of biofuels (FAME, HVO, SAF), closing the loop as a circular economy process and making the most of the materials. |
