概要
In the two years since the previous Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Impact Report was published, much has changed. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) triggered a global pandemic, shutting down borders and disrupting lives. In March 2020, there were fears that RSPO’s journey of transforming markets to make sustainable palm oil the norm would be interrupted, or even regress. It didn’t. Despite worldwide turmoil, RSPO continues to grow in almost all aspects. In this Impact Report, RSPO is pleased to document sustained growth in membership and certification, encouraging progress in certified production and consumption, expanding reach in markets and to smallholder farmers, and most importantly, tangible positive impacts. Through the commitment and ambition of over 5,200 members, sustainability in the palm oil industry is now entrenched through RSPO.
