Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) which is a global multi-stakeholder initiative on sustainable palm oil was formally established under Article 60 of the Swiss Civil Code on 8 April 2004. The objective of 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. RSPO is promoting the development of a globally acceptable credible definition of sustainable palm oil production and use and the implementation of better management practices that comply with this definition. The RSPO encourages members to actively participate in the development of the criteria and undertake practical projects to facilitate implementation of better management practices along the supply chain.
