Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil
The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a global organization that promotes responsible production and use of palm oil. It sets strict standards to ensure palm oil is cultivated without causing environmental harm, such as deforestation or loss of wildlife, and respects the rights of local communities and workers. Companies that meet these standards can become certified, showing they follow sustainable practices. The RSPO aims to balance economic benefits from palm oil with environmental protection and social responsibility, helping consumers make more ethical choices and encouraging the industry to adopt better practices.
