Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Certification
Southeast Asia Services
RSPO Principles and Criteria (P&C) and Supply Chain Certification helps demonstrate globally that your palm oil production is sustainable, legal, economically viable, and does not negatively impact the environment, wildlife, workers, or communities, but promotes zero deforestation, shared responsibility, zero burn, and social compliance.
SCS Global Services offers certification services for your entire supply chain starting with mills and plantations, independent small holders, then downstream supply chain crushers, refineries, product manufacturing, and oleo-chemicals manufacturing. We also offer complementary RSPO mandated verifications: including new planting procedure (NPP) and trademark usage. Integrated facilities can obtain both RSPO Principles and Criteria (P&C) and Supply Chain Certification.
Palm Oil is the world’s most versatile vegetable oil. It is found in countless products like soap, toothpaste, chocolate, and cakes. Companies moving towards sustainable palm oil, contribute to the reduction of negative social and environmental impacts of conventional oil palm cultivation. Having RSPO certification, enhances trust and confidence among your stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, investors, and the community because they see proof that your company is actively addressing environmental and social concerns and implementing sustainable practices and processes.
