The Swedish Platform on Risk Commodities brings together Swedish companies and organisations who aim to accelerate the global transition to making high-risk commodities sustainable. Through the platform, members have a forum for knowledge exchange, advocacy, and the development of common approaches.
The members represent significant parts of the value chain, including feed and raw material production, producers, and retail, as well as industry and non-governmental organizations. The platform is coordinated by Ethical Trade Sweden.

Joint commitments and Roadmap to 2025
The members of the Swedish platform have reached common commitments for mor sustainable soy and palm oil to reduce risks to people and the environment and contribute to increased sustainability.
In short, the commitments mean that by December 31, 2025, member companies must require that all soy and palm oil in the products they handle, both private-label products and external brands, support sustainable production.
The stricter requirements for soy and palm oil apply to animal feed, food, cosmetics, hygiene, laundry, and cleaning products. The new requirements apply not only to the members themselves but also to all suppliers to the Swedish food retailers, major food wholesalers, and the Swedish feed and animal production industry.
