Invitation to Participate in the Field Trials for the Draft Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) Guidance and Operational Tool

The RSPO Secretariat is pleased to invite interested Units of Certification (UoCs) to participate in the upcoming field trials of the draft Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) Guidance and Operational Tool.

Objective:

The field trials are intended to test the practical application of the draft HRDD Guidance and Operational Tool, developed to support the implementation of Indicator 1.3.1 of the 2024 RSPO Principles and Criteria (P&C) across different operational contexts, and gather feedback on their clarity, usability and practicality.

Feedback from participating UoCs will help identify implementation challenges, resource and support needs, and areas requiring clarification or improvement to inform the finalisation of the Guidance and Operational Tool.
