For many years now, numerous suppliers of Palm Oil have been clearing vast tracts of land which as cause environmental damage most commonly seen as destroying the habitat of the Orangutan.
Because of this, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) production was formed. www.rspo.org
RSPO is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative on sustainable palm oil. Members and participants in its activities come from many different backgrounds and include environmental NGOs, banks and investors, growers, processors, manufacturers and retailers of palm oil products and social NGOs. They come from many countries that produce or use palm oil. The principal objective of the RSPO is “to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm oil through co-operation within the supply chain and open dialogue between its stakeholders.”
The certification RSPO/PM-00201 is provided by SGS Internationa. www.sgs.com.
SGS provides inspection, testing, certification & verification services to ensure that products, services & systems meet
