New Governance
The Roundtable's organization was
originally based on an informal cooperation between a
number of business partners and WWF. An Organizing
Committee was formed in January 2003 to organize the
inaugural Roundtable meeting in Kuala Lumpur and to make
preparations for the formal establishment of the RSPO.
With the registration of RSPO as an association under
Article 60 of the Swiss Civil Code on 8 April 2004, a new governance structure
has been adopted, as shown below. Management and conduct
of the RSPO will be governed by its
Statutes
and
By-Laws.
During the RSPO 3rd General Assembly of Members on 22
November 2006, RSPO members also adopted a Code of
Conduct.
