Roundtable On Sustainable Palm Oil
The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a global initiative aimed at promoting the sustainable production of palm oil. Established in 2004, it brings together various stakeholders, including producers, processors, retailers, and environmental organizations, to develop and implement standards for sustainable palm oil cultivation. The goal is to minimize the negative environmental and social impacts associated with palm oil production.
RSPO certification ensures that palm oil is produced in a way that protects ecosystems, respects workers' rights, and supports local communities. By encouraging sustainable practices, the RSPO aims to meet the growing demand for palm oil while preserving biodiversity and promoting responsible land use.
