The Shared Responsibility (SR) requirements include a commitment to annual uptake targets for Ordinary, non-grower members to create higher demand for certified sustainable oil palm products. The RSPO Board of Governors (BoG) on 11 March 2025 endorsed the following percentage point uptake targets for Year Six (2025):
Processors and Traders | CGMs and Retailers | |||
CSPO | CSPKO | CSPO | CSPKO | |
Year 6 (2025) | 2% | – | 12% | – |
Based on the projections to close the gap between supply and demand, it is recommended to maintain a CSPO uptake target of 2% for Processors and Traders (P&T) and 12% for Consumer Goods Manufacturers (CGM) and Retailers (RT). The percentage point uptake targets are applicable to existing members and new Ordinary members from the starting point of membership.
New members will be assessed on their uptake target performance upon the submission of their first mandatory Annual Communication of Progress (ACOP), whereby their reported volumes in their membership application will be used to calculate their baseline. The annual CSPO uptake target is the percentage increase of CSPO volumes relative to the total palm oil volume between two years (baseline and current year). The CSPO Uptake target can be reached by buying physical RSPO Certified products: Identity Preserved (IP), Segregated (SG) or Mass Balance (MB), or RSPO Credits.
The Shared Responsibility Scorecard (updated Sept 24) shows the % of the CSPO uptake achieved by the different supply chain models in the individual members’ cards.
For CSPKO, no uptake target is endorsed due to the ongoing tightness in the market. However, members are encouraged to continue increasing their sourcing of CSPKO volumes.
This RSPO Factsheet includes an example of how to calculate the baseline and the uptake targets in volumes. If you have any questions or need support with calculating your uptake target volume, please contact [email protected].
