The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)

The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a global, non-profit, multi-stakeholder organisation that convenes companies, financial institutions, and NGOs across the palm oil value chain to develop shared sustainability standards. Established through collaboration between industry and civil society actors, it operates as a voluntary membership body with participants worldwide. Its governance model is consensus-driven, with members shaping policies through working groups and assemblies. RSPO’s core activity is maintaining environmental and social criteria and a certification system for “Certified Sustainable Palm Oil” (CSPO).
