As the RSPO Secretariat continues to adapt to the COVID-19 situation globally while recognising the vital need to continue convening stakeholders, we are pleased to announce that RSPO will be hosting a Virtual Independent Smallholders Dialogue.
This event aims to be a platform gathering Independent Smallholder groups, as well as the companies and/or organisations that support them, to discuss and exchange experiences and key lessons learned during their certification journey.
