The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a globally recognized organisation dedicated to promoting the production and use of sustainable palm oil. Palm oil, a versatile and widely used commodity, has faced significant environmental, social, and educational challenges due to unsustainable practices and a lack of understanding of its economic place. The RSPO was established in 2004 to address these issues by developing and implementing a set of standards for sustainable palm oil production.
Achieving RSPO certification demonstrates a commitment to responsible and sustainable palm oil production. The certification process involves several steps, including an assessment of compliance with the RSPO Standards by an accredited certification body. This assessment typically includes an on-site audit to evaluate a potential certificate holders’ readiness for certification.
To maintain certification, companies must adhere to ongoing compliance requirements which include independently conducted internal audits and annually undergo surveillance and re-evaluation audits to ensure continued adherence to RSPO standards.
