The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) initiative

Palm oil is an important commodity and a versatile raw material for food and non-food industries. Driven by global demands, the past few decades have seen a rapid expansion of palm oil production and cultivation, leading to land, water, and ecological degradation. This led to the formation of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) initiative.

What is RSPO?

RSPO was formed in 2004 with the objective of promoting the growth and usage of sustainable palm oil products through credible international standards. Although the standard was initially developed by RSPO; BSI in Singapore and Malaysia was amongst the few that has been granted approval and given the authority to audit and certify a palm oil related organisation.

There has been much criticism surrounding the usage of Palm Oil in the industry. By implementing the RSPO framework, you are committing your organisation to work closely with other like-minded suppliers in an effort to reduce the environmental impact of palm oil plantation and production.

Palm oil can be found in more than half of the cosmetic and food and beverage household products on our supermarket shelves. This heavy use of palm oil over the past few decades have seen rapid expansion of palm oil production and cultivation leading to degradation of land, water and ecological impact. But what’s the most sustainable alternative to palm oil? We’ll be discussing this in relation to  how sustainable palm oil differs in its production process.
