RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil)
RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) is a global multi-stakeholder organisation that sets a voluntary standard and certification for sustainable palm oil.
RSPO's members include growers, traders, manufacturers, retailers, banks and NGOs. Its standard is voluntary, unlike ISPO, which is mandatory in Indonesia, and is often requested by buyers in international markets.
Buyer sustainability requirements, for example in the European Union through RED and the EUDR, make certifications such as RSPO and ISPO relevant to palm oil and biodiesel exports.
