Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil

The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is dedicated to promoting and certifying sustainable palm oil production, aimed at benefitting people, wildlife, and the planet. Recognizing the double-edged nature of palm oil, RSPO emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices that prevent deforestation, safeguard communities, and protect biodiversity. As the world's most versatile vegetable oil, palm oil is found in numerous everyday products, from cooking oils to cosmetics.

RSPO provides resources and support for individuals, smallholders, and organizations seeking to embrace sustainable palm oil. They advocate for responsible cultivation that not only enhances productivity but also fosters fair labor practices and community well-being. By joining RSPO, stakeholders can actively participate in the global initiative to ensure palm oil’s positive impact while addressing its historical challenges. Together, they strive to balance the demand for palm oil with its environmental and social responsibilities, positioning sustainable palm oil as a vital component in meeting future food security and climate challenges.
