Japanese chemical and cosmetics outfit Kao Corporation has joined a $120m venture to scale and commercialise Genomatica’s plant- based alternatives to palm kernel oil, joining Unilever as a founding member. Kao’s investment adds to

to be a critical feedstock to Kao, the venture will support Kao in manufacturing more sustainable, biotechnology-driven ingredients for use in home and personal care products, and supplying palm oil alternatives derivatives to its business customers, and to increase the transparency and traceability of its supply chain. “Geno’s biotechnology
has a vital role to play in the diversification of sustainable raw material procurement,” said
Masahiro Katayose, Kao’s senior executive officer in charge of its chemical business. “Kao’s investment in this
venture will make possible the provision of new eco-chemical solutions and represents an opportunity for Kao to play an even bigger role in helping consumers, customers, industry and society to realize decarbonization and make the shift to a resource-circulating economy,” he added.

Christophe Schilling said: “We’re excited to welcome Kao as a founding member to our palm kernel oil alternative venture along with Unilever."
