20 years of RSPO – welcome home!
After being founded in Switzerland 20 years ago by WWF and Migros, among others, the Swiss Palm Oil Network welcomed a delegation from the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) from Malaysia to Switzerland.
Together with representatives of WWF Switzerland and SECO Economic Cooperation and Development, several members of the palm oil network exchanged views on current developments, such as the upcoming EU deforestation directive and its significance for Swiss companies, as well as future improvements to the RSPO standard in the areas of climate protection and biodiversity.
