Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil
The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a global organization that promotes the sustainable production of palm oil. Established in 2004, it brings together various stakeholders, including producers, processors, retailers, and environmental groups, to create standards for sustainable palm oil cultivation. The RSPO aims to minimize the negative environmental and social impacts associated with palm oil production.
To achieve its goals, the RSPO develops certification systems that ensure palm oil is produced in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner. By adhering to these standards, companies can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, helping to protect ecosystems and support local communities affected by the palm oil industry.
