Standards Revision Multi-Stakeholder Consultation
From 5 July to 20 August 2024, physical and virtual Stakeholder Consultations were carried out in various regions over Revision 1.0 of the RSPO Principles and Criteria (P&C) and Independent Smallholder (ISH) Standard in order to receive feedback and comments on the changes proposed.
Following the closure of the Stakeholder Consultation period, the RSPO Secretariat performed an analysis of the feedback and comments received, per the Decision Paper approved by the Standards Standing Committee (SSC) on 1 August 2024. The analysis identified, distilled and categorised the feedback received from stakeholders into three categories: general consensus; divided consensus; and no consensus.
The Secretariat has incorporated the feedback and comments received where there is general consensus into Revision 2.0, which will be published for Public Comments from 2 to 15 September 2024.
Simultaneously, the Multi-Stakeholder Consultation Task Force (TF) has been formed, to focus on the feedback and comments categorised as divided consensus or no consensus over the Criteria and Indicators in Revision 2.0. This Multi-Stakeholder Consultation is critical to finalising the drafting of the revised RSPO P&C and ISH.
The Call for Expression of Interest for the Multi-Stakeholder Consultation Task Force was announced on 20 August 2024.
