Vision, Mission and Aspirations

Vision
RSPO assures palm oil contributes to a better world.

Mission
To advance the production, procurement and use of sustainable oil palm products through:

• the development, implementation and verification of credible global standards and,
• the engagement of stakeholders along the supply chain

In the pursuit of its mission, the RSPO will constantly keep faith with its origins as a not-for-profit association created by organisations carrying out their activities in and around the entire supply chain for palm oil. Its objective is to promote the growth and use of sustainable palm oil through co-operation within the supply chain and open dialogue with its stakeholders.

 In particular, the RSPO will aspire to achieve its mission by work on the following tasks:

• Research and develop definitions and criteria for the sustainable production and use of palm oil;
• Undertake practical projects designed to facilitate implementation of sustainable best practices;
• Develop solutions to practical problems related to the adoption and verification of best practices for plantation establishment and management, procurement, trade and logistics;
• Involve the entire supply chain to support sustainable palm oil.
• Acquire financial resources from private and public funds to finance projects under the auspices of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil;
• Communicate the Roundtable's work to all stakeholders and to a broader public.
