RSPO launched RSPO NEXT in February 2016, a set of additional and advanced criteria for sustainable palm oil production to assist companies who wish to exceed current RSPO criteria and implement zero deforestation commitments.
Since the launch of RSPO NEXT on 9 February 2016, subject to certain conditions, RSPO members can also be audited against the RSPO P&C and an additional voluntary set of criteria, which match those covered by POIG:
The RSPO system is built on third party auditing by accredited Certification Bodies, who are themselves audited and monitored by a third party, Accreditation Services International. RSPO NEXT certification will also be implemented in this way.
RSPO is a multi-stakeholder organisation which includes 2678 members worldwide and is tasked to build consensus among seven different stakeholder groups, including NGOs, growers, processors and traders, manufacturers, retailers and investors. As well as providing a market based approach for sector transformation, the RSPO is actively involved in sectoral reform initiatives and dialogue in both producer and demand countries.
