The Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) Certification

It is a comprehensive initiative that encompasses all aspects of palm oil production, from plantations to processing facilities, including independent and organized smallholdings. The scheme, which aligns with national socio-economic goals, emphasizes the development of marginalized local communities while adhering to local and international laws and treaties. FGV IFFCO, a prominent player in the industry, has been an active member of MSPO and achieved certification in 2019, demonstrating its dedication to sustainable and responsible business practices.
