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.

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.

Urging industry players to look beyond certification and

simplifying certain procedures, Oxfam Novib’s Johan
Verburg said smallholder engagement should focus on
the positive, such as investing in smallholders’ ability to
manage their own areas for sustainability.

a country with the second-highest basic wage in South

delegate their sustainability related efforts to their salaried

GMBH 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
Datuk Darrel Webber Beginning his address with a brief tribute to the late
CEO, RSPO 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.

27 RSPO RT14 Report: Closing Address

MEDIA COVERAGE
A good turnout comprising 37 publications and 49 representatives from the Thai, Malaysian,
Indonesian, Indian, European and international media attended RT14. A total of 17 interviews were
