RSPO Certification for Responsible Palm Oil

Palm oil is an important commodity and a versatile raw material for both food and non-food industries. Driven by global demands, the past few decades have seen rapid expansion of palm oil production and cultivation leading to degradation of land, water and ecological impact. This leads to the formation of 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.


What is RSPO Supply Chain Certification?

RSPO Supply Chain Certification Systems is an independent chain of custody certification which aims to prove that palm oil has been acquired in a sustainable and ethical way from a certified grower. This involves the whole supply chain - refining, manufacturing, processing, transportation and distribution to provide your business with the traceability required to demonstrate the sustainability of your palm oil. By achieving certification you can prove that you are meeting the expectations of customers and end users in a commitment to the sustainability of palm oil production.
