The RSPO Hotspot Hub is designed to bring greater transparency and accountability to the issue of forest fire, open fire and the use of fire for pest control. This is in line with indicators 7.1.3, 7.3.3 and 7.11.2 of the RSPO Principles & Criteria 2018 and criteria 4.4 and 4.6 of the RSPO Independent Smallholder (ISH) Standard 2019.
This interactive digital platform provides information on verified hotspots and potential fires within RSPO certified and non-certified concessions, and highlights the actions carried out by members to remedy the situation.
The Hotspot Hub features incident reports collected from the RSPO Firewatch System - a daily hotspot monitoring programme, detailing the actions taken on the ground by RSPO members to investigate and extinguish fires.
