The facilities of DKS Co. Ltd. in Japan, the producer of Sisterna sucrose esters of fatty acids and Sisterna’ s mother company, are approved as RSPO Mass Balance and Segregated supply chain.

Production with certified and traceable palm oil according to the Mass Balance system of the company’s powder grades has started in January 2017. This means that the supply of RSPO certified Sisterna sucrose esters from the warehouse in the Netherlands has started from March 2017.

“Sisterna is a small user of palm oil, but we recognize the need for sustainable palm oil sourcing. It is an essential issue for the global environment, biodiversity and the working conditions for the local plantation workers. We want to take our responsibility so we can offer a sustainable palm-based emulsifier,” the company notes.

Sisterna is established in 1992 as a joint venture of DKS Co. Ltd. (DKS) and Royal Cosun (The Netherlands).

Sisterna imports the sucrose esters of DKS into the Netherlands where the warehouse and office are located. Their sucrose esters are promoted under the brand name Sisterna, with a main market of the Western Hemisphere with a focus on Europe and North America. Sisterna has an extensive network of exclusive distributors specialized in marketing and distributing a unique range of high quality, non-ionic emulsifiers and covering more than 35 countries worldwide.
