The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) was founded in 2004 to promote the production and use of sustainable palm oil—benefiting people, the planet, and prosperity.
Today, 40% of the world’s palm oil producers are RSPO members, including product manufacturers, retailers, and key environmental and social NGOs.
Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) and Certified Sustainable Palm Kernel Oil (CSPKO) refer to oils produced by plantations that have been independently audited and certified in compliance with RSPO standards.
The RSPO Principles & Criteria (P&C)
The RSPO Principles & Criteria (P&C) serve as the global benchmark for sustainable palm oil production. Public claims about sustainability must be supported by RSPO-approved third-party inspections.
Benefits & Importance of RSPO Certification
– Lower greenhouse gas emissions
– Improved waste management systems
– Reduced pesticide use
– Stronger regulatory compliance
– Fewer workplace accidents
– Enhanced productivity and traceability
RSPO certification is a recognized seal of approval confirming that palm oil is produced sustainably and is traceable through the supply chain. All certified producers undergo strict verification by accredited certifying bodies, and certifications can be revoked if standards are violated.
