Shared Responsibility Task Force
All RSPO members share the responsibility for achieving the vision of transforming markets to make sustainable palm oil the norm. There is a need to define more explicitly what this means in terms of accountability; to each other, and to all stakeholders who support RSPO. Members have different roles in contributing to the shared vision of market transformation. During the recent Principles and Criteria (P&C) review process, the mechanism of accountability was discussed and explored, with wide agreement on the concept of shared responsibility.
While the P&C is applicable to the production of sustainable palm oil, the RSPO Code of Conduct for Members, clause 3.2, applicable to all members, requires: “Members to whom the P&C do not apply directly will implement parallel standards relevant to their own organisation, which cannot be lower than those set out in the P&C.”
It was agreed that a transparent process would need to be established. As such, the proposed process and Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Shared Responsibility Taskforce (SRTF) was submitted to the Board of Governors and subsequently endorsed in September 2018.
