As contractual obligations allow, BASF Personal Care Europe is forced to significantly increase the Mass Balance premium for all palm (kernel) oleoderivatives in EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa). In a statement, BASF said it is confronted with a significant cost increase for RSPO-certified palm and palm kernel oil as well as their respective derivatives. BASF reached a milestone on sustainable palm earlier this year.
