On March 6th 2014 the Board of Governors of the RSPO has accepted the recommendations of the Compensation Task Force (CTF) to start a staged implementation of the Remediation and Compensation Procedures. The staged implementation, with an effective start date of May 9th, 2014, requires all RSPO members who own and/or manage land for oil palm production to comply with the Remediation and Compensation Procedures.
