RSPO Dispute Settlement Facility (DSF) is a sub-ordinate to the RSPO Complaint System, which addresses disputes arising from issues relevant to certain RSPO P&C. In particular, it is dedicated to deal with disputes that result from lack of FPIC, recognition of the community voice, and respect for customary rights. DSF enables a mediation process that may be undertaken by mutual consent of the parties involved in the disputes.
