RSPO – The Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil
This is a multi-stakeholder group with many members including social and government organizations, companies, businesses and government institutions. Through a consensus-based approach, they are working to develop and implement criteria for sustainable production of palm oil.
Encouraging companies to join RSPO may be the best hope for change. We call on the RSPO to introduce a verification scheme urgently and to have their members sign up. Until they do this there is no evidence that being a member of RSPO makes a Palm Oil user any more environmentally responsible than one who is not.
