RSPO 2014
2014
In 2007,
how much
palm oil
was RSPO
certified?
0%
A resolution passed in the 2013 General
Assembly demands that all grower members
must now submit digital maps of their concession
boundaries to RSPO.
In partnership with Global Forest Watch…, the
RSPO will provide maps detailing concession
boundaries, including certified and new planting
areas, for online deforestation and fire
monitoring.
The RSPO is not perfect
By working within the RSPO – as members –
and voting on issues, we can work to make it
better.
RSPO NEXT is a voluntary initiative
No Deforestation, No Fire, No Planting on Peat,
Reduction of GHGs, Respect for Human Rights
and Transparency.
