Decent Living Wage (DLW)
On 27 November 2019, it was announced that pending the development of the RSPO endorsed living wage benchmarks for relevant countries, national minimum wages shall be paid to all workers.
In addition, the Unit of Certification (UoC) is also required to conduct an assessment of the prevailing wages and in-kind benefits provided to its workers. We will also explain the concept of decent living wages and how we see it being applied in a meaningful way in RSPO certified units.
