Yes, since January 2015 Nutella® only uses 100% sustainable and RSPO-certified segregated palm oil, which is traceable.

This type of palm oil does not contribute to deforestation, species extinction, high greenhouse gas emissions or violate human rights. 

In November 2013, Ferrero® (the maker of Nutella®) moved beyond the RSPO certification by adopting a ‘No Deforestation’ policy, the Ferrero Palm Oil Charter, a robust, publicly available and time-bound implementation plan, working extensively with its suppliers. To turn the Charter commitment into concrete actions, Ferrero® established a technical partnership with The Forest Trust (TFT) to support the implementation of its Palm Oil Charter.
