Our Procter & Gamble team is proud to be part of a global partnership to make palm oil sustainable. ?? For 20 years, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has brought key stakeholders together to transform the global palm oil sector. All have been inspired by a shared vision of a sustainable industry that benefits people, safeguards the planet, and promotes prosperity for rural communities worldwide. ? P&G supports #RSPO because we share their commitment to sustainable palm, sustainably sourced, and believe in the significant progress they have helped realize over the past two decades, including: ? ? Conserving over 360,000 hectares to date under RSPO Principles and Criteria Certification ? Remediating more than 100,000 hectares of land, and ? Improving the lives of over half a million workers in the global palm oil industry under the RSPO certification system. ? Through the P&G Center for Sustainable Small-owners, at the ASB, more than 400 #smallholder farmers have achieved the internationally recognized RSPO Independent Smallholder Certification (RISS), with a further 400 #smallholders anticipated to earn this certification by the end of 2025. ?? ? With the realization that shared challenges are often best handled by working together, we are excited to help continue building on RSPO’s progress to drive a more sustainable future. ?? Together with our P&G Director Principal Scientist, Dr. Kuan-Chun Lee, who serves on the RSPO Board of Governors, we look forward to the Next 20 with this important organization. ? #RSPONext20 #SustainablePalmOil #RSPOmember
