The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and the Executive Committee of the High Carbon Stock Approach Steering Group (HCSA SG) announce their intention to undertake exchanges on how to implement no-deforestation commitments within the RSPO Principles and Criteria Review process.
The process has already started with the formation of a small joint committee involving representatives of RSPO Secretariat, RSPO P&C Task Force and the HCSA SG Executive Committee to discuss proposals for the inclusion of the HCS Approach to address no-deforestation in the RSPO P&C. The P&C review Task Force will then deliberate in their next meeting (22-24 November) whether these proposals should be included, adapted or not incorporated into the next version of the revised RSPO P&C.
