Olam company profile

This sustainability risk profile links Olam – operating across two distinct business units, Ofi (Olam Food Ingredients) and Olam Agri – to global cocoa, coffee, and palm oil supply chains in the context of the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR) and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The analysis maps Olam’s sourcing areas, links to deforestation hotspots, trade data on exports and imports, and the location of assets and infrastructure connected to the European market.

A key element of the report is the presentation of six case studies potentially linked to Olam through supply chain relationships with cocoa, coffee, palm oil, and black pepper-producing farms or concessions. The case studies document potential forest clearing, as well as social issues including alleged labour rights violations and an unresolved indigenous land conflict, which may represent noncompliance challenges with EUDR and CSDDD requirements. The report’s case studies were shared with Ofi and Olam Agri in May 2026, and the company’s responses have been integrated into the report.

AidEnvironment’s upcoming Compliance Checker will feature this and similar case studies.
