EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

There were many reasons for cheer at RT14, during which the 800 participants received updates on

the significant progress made on many fronts in the 12 months leading up to the annual event.

Jurisdictional Certification ( JC), a breakthrough standard implemented in three local jurisdictions

last year, has moved on to scale- and capacity-building, including cementing strategic partnerships

to maximise stakeholder involvement.

Musi Banyuasin, which produces 420,000 tonnes of palm kernel oil (PKO) annually, is developing

a provincial “green growth” plan while Sabah aims to achieve “gold jurisdiction”, targeting Zero

Deforestation, Zero Conflict and Smallholders’ Livelihoods by 2020.

A widely anticipated move that could potentially boost transparency and add a new dimension to

the RSPO’s work also materialised.

It was announced that from January 2017, the organisation would be migrating to PalmTrace, a new

IT system integrating the identity preserved, segregation, mass balance, book and claim supply

chains into a single platform.

HCV Resource Network’s Paulina Villalpando, meanwhile, conveyed good news on the high

conservation value (HCV) front.

She said that for the first time in history, the network has enough data on the location of HCV areas,

as well as assessors and concession sites, rendering the HCV a very powerful tool that will enable

the RSPO and other standards to make informed decisions in the future.

Amidst the optimism, there was also recognition that more needs to be done in the critical areas

of human rights and labour conditions, smallholder engagement and inclusion.

Keynote speaker Nuwesh Thrupkaew’s hard-hitting address cautioned the palm oil (PO) industry

on growing scrutiny on alleged labour exploitation and inequality, reminding companies to bridge

the gap between “mission versus reality” and “promise versus deliverance”.

Echoing her concerns, Bapak Herwin Nasution, head of Serikat Buruh Perkebunan Indonesia high-

lighted the need to plug legislative loopholes to address the continued exploitation of workers.

He said greater participation of workers in drawing up the regulations that affect them could

potentially smoothen the implementation process.

Articulating concerns on the ground, Bapak Augustinus Triwibowo from PT Dharma Satya Nusantara

reminded the RSPO to make available a translation of Principles & Criteria (P&Cs) in the Indonesian

language to speed up their adoption, while one speaker said the magnitude and cost relating to the

RSPO’s traceabililty procedures may be a hurdle to smallholder participation.

2 RSPO RT14 Report: Executive Summary

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (continued)

Despite the gaps, the noteworthy achievements from the projects the RSPO has carried out so far

include workers’ development and smallholder/stakeholder engagement.

Bapak Narno Sayoto Irontiko of AMANAH Palm Oil Independent Smallholders Association said the

emphasis on sustainability has shifted the mindset of growers from individual productivity to

collective responsibility, while the transfer of technical knowledge has accelerated their conversion

to sustainable planting.

Elsewhere, a growing number of companies are supporting the RSPO’s work, with some even

providing benefits that go beyond mandatory requirements.

To improve livelihoods through sustainability, Procter & Gamble supports the RSPO’s Smallholder

Working Group by facilitating links between growers worldwide, while Golden Agri-Resources Ltd

is developing a pro-women policy that allows breastfeeding during working hours.

In China, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is drawing up a national roadmap for sustainable PO

to promote engagement with government agencies and companies, while in Netherlands,

the consumption of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) has escalated, driven by the nation’s

commitment to 100% adoption of SPO in Europe by 2020.

There were suggestions on enhancing smallholder engagement through the simplification of

procedures and focusing on the positives.

Johan Verburg from Oxfam Novib advocated a change in mindset from the current emphasis on the

negatives – “No Exploitation, No Planting, No Deforestation’’ — to investing in building smallholders’

capacity to manage their own areas for sustainability.

Meanwhile, with self-critique being part of the RSPO’s DNA, RT14 saw its fair share of reflection,

like in past RTs.

Dr Marcus Colchester from the Forest Peoples Programme said while the RSPO fills a need, the

organisation is not doing this very well. He lamented the lack of quality assurance in the monitoring

of the New Planting Procedures as well as shortcomings despite the fact that RSPO has grievance

mechanisms in place.

Jan Pierre Jarrin Peters from Oleana said a sore point among buyers of PO is that since the supply

of CSPO exceeds demand, they should not be paying more if the higher price, and hence the

profits, are not equitably distributed to the upstream players (growers), who made far less profit

than the downstream players (i.e. manufacturers and retailers).

Nevertheless, he thinks the RSPO still has a role as the leading SPO certification body and

sustainability platform.

WELCOME ADDRESS

RSPO Co-chairperson Dato’ Carl Bek-Nielsen weighed in

on the organisation’s growing obligations to smallholders,

now comprising more than 50% of producers in Indonesia,

40% in Malaysia and 80% in Thailand.

He said that this group of producers requires more

resources, time and help, adding that the RSPO risks having

smallholders turn their backs on it if the organisation

failed to fulfill one of the United Nations’ most important

pillars of sustainable development, i.e. raising the living

standards of the poor. Emphasising RT14’s theme of

“Learning to Live Together – From Vision to Transformation”,

Dato’ Bek-Nielsen reminded members to “stimulate

progress and accept that the RSPO also needs to reform”.

Citing a lack of ownership as the reason why some non-

RSPO growers stopped short of joining the sustainability

movement, he urged members to work together to

achieve the RSPO’s shared vision of making sustainable

palm oil the gold standard.

7 RSPO RT14 Report: Welcome Address

MINISTERIAL ADDRESS

With 1,674 RSPO certified

farmers and another 1,300

projected to come on board

as certified growers in 2017,

the Thai Government is a

flag bearer of sustainable

Palm Oil certification.

Steering the world’s third-

largest producer of palm

oil’s commitment to the

RSPO standards is the

National Oil Palm Policy

Committee, an oversight

agency tasked with building

sustainability mechanisms

and competitiveness in

Thailand’s oil palm sector.

In his address, the Deputy

Prime Minister of Thailand

His Excellency General

Prawit Wongsuwan said

the palm oil industry

is a significant contributor

to the country’s domestic

economy, which has

averaged a healthy

7% growth over the past

decade.

His Excellency General Prawit WongsuwanDEPUTY PRIME MINISTER OF THE KINGDOM OF THAILAND

KEYNOTE ADDRESS

Award-winning investigative

journalist Nuwesh

Thrupkaew’s hard-hitting

address was akin to a call to

arms to palm oil stalwarts

— make good on RT14’s

theme of transforming the

RSPO’s vision to reality.

Ms. Thrupkaew, whose work

on social change focuses

on the plight of migrant

workers, said the PO industry

is increasingly attracting

public scrutiny of a problem

prevalent in other industries

— that of labour exploitation

and inequality.

Describing the industry as

being at a “critical juncture”,

she underscored the need

for companies to bridge

the gap between “mission

versus reality” and

“promise versus deliverance”.

Besides enhanced trace-

ability and enforcement,

Ms Thrupkaew also called

for greater inclusion of the

voices of dissent in the

RSPO’s certification process

towards achieving true

engagement, opportunity

and growth.

PREPARATORY CLUSTER 1

In this session, Dr Gan Lian Tiong from the RSPO’s Emissions

Reduction Working Group (ERWG) informed the meeting

that all members will be required to publicly report their

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 1 January 2017.

He said overall, members’ uptake of voluntary reporting

under Criteria 5.6 and 7.8 had been good. The ERWG is

now developing checklists for audit procedures and a new

GHG calculation for scenario testing.

Both measures are to become effective from 2017.

Articulating sentiment on the ground, Bapak Augustinus

Triwibowo said Indonesian planters are still waiting for

the RSPO to translate the procedures into the local

language, adding that this could speed up the adoption of

Principles and Criteria.

In this session, speakers shared how enhanced engagement

between mills and producers as well as new tools can be

deployed to mitigate the risk of illegal fresh fruit brunches (FFBs) entering the supply chain.

A FoodReg study cited Ghana and Thailand as examples

where keeping indirect supplies low (Ghana) and nurturing

close collaboration between mills and growers (Thailand)

have narrowed the gaps through which illegal FFBs can seep

into the supply stream.

Leveraging on technology, GeoTraceability is ready to roll

out innovative solutions to improve traceability at the

smallholder level while boosting productivity and building

capacity, while Proforest’s Pavithra Ramani called for

strengthening supplier-producer engagement to promote

responsible sourcing.

and was aimed at driving home the message of sourcing

commitments.

Inke van der Sluijs, Technical Manager Europe from the

RSPO, provided interesting insights with an illustration

on how real-life players in the certified sustainable palm

kernel oil (PKO) supply chain worked together while

Ashwin Selvaraj, Assistant Technical Manager Europe,

updated participants on the RSPO credits and changes to

the GreenPalm certification that will spur uptake while

addressing supply-side shortages.

With traceability becoming more complex as the supply

chain progresses to the retail consumer, speakers also

discussed ways to overcome the obstacles and make the

sustainable supply of PKO the industry norm.

A year after Jurisdictional Certification ( JC) was adopted,

the RSPO is refining the standard to make it more inclusive,

anchoring it on existing standards but making it adaptable

to local conditions. The focus is on scalability and reward

rather than creating new hurdles as well as global relevance.

Speakers also updated participants on the progress being

made at the local government levels at Seruyan, Musi

Banyuasin and Sabah, where JC was implemented in 2016.

alike providing succinct analyses and depth to a broad,

wide-ranging topic.

Moderator Datuk Dr John Payne from the Borneo Rhino

Alliance reminded participants that bioecology — the study

of species-area interdependency established in the

70s — is today narrowly interpreted as referring only to

“endangered species”.

Meanwhile, speaker Dr Mike Senior from Proforest showed

how new tools could remotely map the probability of

High Carbon Value, emphasising the importance of such

tools in spurring the voluntary adoption of biodiversity

conservation, especially among smallholders.

Intent insight and policy matters dominated the discussion

on sustainable pathways in the palm oil industry, with a focus

on Thailand’s unique experience in developing the sector.

Moderator Dr Warit introduced the SUSPENSE (SUStainable

palm oil = Environmentally Sustainable and Equitable)

project, a joint initiative of three graduate schools to chart

science-based methods to determine sustainable pathways

for the production, processing and governing of palm oil.

Wageningen University researcher Elena Degli Innocenti

presented findings from her “Black Box” study, which showed

that ramps in the Thai value chain — physical collection

points where producers bring in their fresh fruit bunches

for weighing before they are sent to mills — were critical in

facilitating greater adoption of RSPO certification in Thailand.

Her fellow researcher Kanokwan Saswattecha drove home

the message that for real change on the sustainability front,

a combination of policies, including options that may not be

the cheapest, were necessary to avoid making a negative

environmental impact.

WORLD CAFÉ

The World Café dissected

a broad range of matters

close to members’ hearts,

but the one thing that stood

out was what the RSPO has

always been striving for

– how to do things better.

The discussions on the

desired change for the RSPO

brought forth many cogent

ideas for improvement

from the Profit, People and

Planet perspectives.

One participant said a sore

point among buyers of palm

oil was that the upstream

players (growers) made far

less profit than the down-

stream players (i.e. manu-

facturers and retailers).

Jan Pierre Jarrin Peters

from Oleana said buyers

contend that since

the supply of Certified

Sustainable Palm Oil

exceeds demand, they

should not be paying more

if it (the higher price)

does not benefit the oil

palm growers.

Conserving and protecting

the planet on which we

live and sow also drew

a lot of suggestions

ranging from improving

Environmental Impact

Assessment studies and

further equipping the

RSPO staff with training

or knowledge to further

the sustainability agenda.

“...what RSPO has always been

striving for – how to do things

better.”

16 RSPO RT14 Report: World Café

WORLD CAFÉ (continued)

A representative from

Sime Darby Group proposed

the management of vacant

but unplantable areas

within plantations to restore

carbon while participants

from Wetlands International

and Aksenta spoke on the

conservation of forests to

make water available to

their connecting production

areas.

The familiar topic of planting

oil palm on peat land also

cropped up, with participants

advocating alternative

cultivation methods to avoid

the long-term degradation

of such soil. An interesting

angle was that of resilience,

which got some participants

discussing what this means

and which level of the supply

chain this should be at.

Donald Ginting from First

Resources said the process

of building resilience should

start with the plantations

followed by the supply

chain, to which the RSPO’s

Oi Soo Chin added that

smallholders should also

be included.

In deliberating ways to

further the RSPO’s agenda,

World Café participants

advocated making better use

of Annual Communication

of Progress data not just

for consistency, but also

to obtain an overview of

the supply chain in respect

of the RSPO’s sustainable

policy, and feeding the

data to the RSPO’s other

initiatives.

RSPO intervention

is very effective;

although a bit slow but

it is still the best…

Our biggest moment

was the certification

of 244 families in Brazil — the first and

only in Latin America

Advances in technology have made it possible for corporates

and smallholders to adopt enterprise-wide Monitoring

and Evaluation (M&E) systems, but leveraging such data

for strategic purposes, whether as part of knowledge

management or implementation in improvement

mechanisms, is being hindered by a lack of understanding.

This session explored how M&E results can be made more

accessible and practical to comprehend, and how best to

leverage on strategically to improve operational efficiency.

Speakers felt that if classified and disseminated properly,

M&E data could potentially lift the image of entire

industries, including CSPO, but cautioned that proof

of impact could only be determined by studying tangible

evidence and assessing the quality of implementation.

WWF Singapore told participants it has spearheaded an

industry-led multi-stakeholder platform that includes

creating an observer spot for the Singapore Government

to garner governmental support in promoting awareness

of CSPO among companies.

In China, the world’s largest economy hosted its inaugural

China Sustainable Palm Oil Supply Chain Forum in July 2016

in cooperation with the RSPO and WWF, while the Chinese

Chamber of Commerce is drawing up a national roadmap

for sustainable palm oil that will be used as a stakeholder

engagement tool with government agencies and companies.

Meanwhile, the Dutch Government’s commitment to

achieve 100% adoption of sustainable palm oil in Europe by

2020 is rapidly gaining ground as the nation’s consumption

of CSPO rose to 84% versus 30% in 2011.

growers from individual productivity to collective

responsibility, while the transfer of technical knowledge

to growers has accelerated their conversion to

sustainable planting.

Urging industry players to look beyond certification and

Verburg said smallholder engagement should focus on

the positive, such as investing in smallholders’ ability to

manage their own areas for sustainability.

Agus Purnomo MANAGING DIRECTOR FOR SUSTAINABILITY & STRATEGIC STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGEMENT, GOLDEN AGRI-RESOURCES LTD

Speakers representing diverse stakeholders discussed the

progress made so far in a key pillar for sustainability in the

palm oil industry – fair working conditions.

Bapak Herwin Nasution, who heads Serikat Buruh Perkebun-

an Indonesia, highlighted the need to plug legislative

loopholes to address the continued exploitation of workers.

Elsewhere, there were a few bright spots, with companies

in some countries voluntarily complying with international

conventions.

Jan Pierre Jarrin Peters, Sustainability Director at Oleana,

gave participants a glimpse of best practices from Ecuador,

a country with the second-highest basic wage in South

America and the second-highest rate of displacement in

the world, while Golden Agri-Resources Ltd was developing

pro-women policies, allowing breastfeeding during

working hours.

Both ENDS Deputy Director Paul Wolvekamp set the tone

for the discussion by calling for clear guidelines and robust

monitoring in assessments to deal with underperforming

or persistent offenders.

Sharing his perspective as an assessor, Tunku Nazim Tunku

Yaacob of Malaysian Environmental Consultants said most

people responsible for a site tend to assume that they can

delegate their sustainability related efforts to their salaried

employees.

Lamenting the lack of quality assurance in the monitoring of

the New Planting Procedures (NPPs), Dr Marcus Colchester

from the Forest Peoples Programme pointed out that

there were still implementation flaws even though the RSPO

had grievance mechanisms in place.

While Tunku Nazim suggested the integration of NPPs in

companies’ operational management to make results more

tangible, Dr Colchester believes the solution lies in the

retraining and recruitment of staff.

CLOSING ADDRESS

Beginning his address with a brief tribute to the late

King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Datuk Darrel Webber thanked

the host nation and fellow participants for their

contributions towards a successful conference despite

trying times.

He said in pursuing its mission of connecting producers

from the South to markets in the North, there was a

need for self reflection within the RSPO membership on

who it was selling the idea of transformation to.

Datuk Webber asked member nations to step up

mobilisation efforts and ensure that national sustainable

palm oil initiatives were connected tangibly to create

ownership among buyers as well as producers.

He cautioned against taking the “tempting route” of

excluding the people at the bottom of the pyramid from

this process.

Datuk Darrel WebberCEO, RSPO

“We must own the problem,

only then can we solve it.”
