RSPO SCC – Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil
The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) provides a global standard for the entire palm oil supply chain. RSPO Supply Chain Certification (RSPO SCC) is designed for organisations handling palm oil, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability. Control Union Certifications is an accredited certification body that conducts audits for this standard and facilitates market access for certified products.
What is RSPO SCC?
Palm oil is the world’s most traded vegetable oil and a key ingredient in countless products. This makes demonstrating sustainable sourcing increasingly essential. The RSPO SCC provides a framework of verifiable requirements that ensure compliance with established environmental and social criteria. As a result, this standard guarantees that certified palm oil remains traceable and sustainable throughout the entire supply chain—from production to final product. Achieving this sustainable palm oil certification helps companies meet sustainability goals and market demands. Control Union, as an experienced international partner, facilitates a ‘right first time’ certification process, guiding organisations towards compliance and recognition in the global marketplace.
