The guiding principles are the foundation that form the RSPO, anchoring how the RSPO works. They are headlined by Relevancy and Trust.
RSPO and its members engage in an ongoing effort to always better tools, systems, services, processes, transparency, delivery, and the organisation.
RSPO and its members seek solutions that meet new requirements, challenges, unarticulated needs, and opportunities.
Ensuring all aspects (leadership, programmes, staff, strategies, management) of the RSPO organisation and RSPO stakeholders are synched and focused with the vision, goals and priorities to achieve better results and drive impact.
Credibility is established via trustworthiness and expertise. To continue to gain credibility, RSPO and its members (we are all RSPO) can demonstrate this value through transparency, communication, sharing knowledge, and relying on the expertise of its members and partners as well as developing its own capacities.
All types of growers, businesses, supply chain actors, production systems, communities, geographies, NGOs, local authorities, etc., are welcome to be part of RSPO’s vision and missions.
COMMITMENT
All the actors commit to their contribution to transforming markets.
COLLABORATION
Recognising the need to work together and making that happen: transformation of markets can't happen without collaboration.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Commitments are to be fulfilled with a shared responsibility for impact. The expectation of partners and all members is that they actively participate and work together to transform the markets and that there is a mutual and agreed accountability for results.
