Sustainability Made Mandatory: Get Ready For RSPO Compliance

Malaysia’s palm oil industry is central to global supply chains, and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Certification Standard, plays a crucial role in driving responsible production. Unlike national schemes, RSPO is aninternational, voluntary certification system that sets rigorous environmental and social criteria for palm oil growers, processors, and supply chain actors worldwide.

RSPO strengthens traceability and sustainability in the palm oil sector by enforcing best agricultural practices, protecting ecosystems, and safeguarding workers’ rights. For businesses, RSPO certification is increasingly vital—helping maintain global market access, meet the sustainability demands of international buyers, and demonstrate leadership in sustainable palm oil production.
