The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a not-for-profit organization that was established in 2004 to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm oil products. The RSPO was formed by a group of stakeholders, including palm oil producers, processors, traders, consumer goods manufacturers, retailers, banks, and NGOs, who recognized the need for a global platform to promote the production and use of sustainable palm oil.
RSPO is a standard which provides a set of principles and criteria for the sustainable production and sourcing of palm oil. This includes the protection of biodiversity and the rights of workers and local communities.
