Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)
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 has developed a certification system that ensures palm oil is produced in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner. This certification helps consumers identify products that support sustainable practices, contributing to the conservation of ecosystems and the well-being of local communities involved in the palm oil industry.
