C. Challenges

2. Suggestions on how the RSPO can assist your organisation’s sustainability performance.
- To expedite the certification processes of audited plantations and oilmills so to allow more
supply of certified sustainable palm oil
- To encourage further uptake of certified sustainable palm oil, the buyer scorecard should be
made updated regularly (at least once a month) and made available in the website
- To encourage buying, the commission levy by GreenPalm and Utz of $2/mt is very high by any
trading standard and should be reduced to $1 since the volume of certified sustainable palm oil
transacted at more than double (perhaps triple) in 2010. A gradual reduction of commission
table should be agreed with step-up volume increase
- Support the extension of auditor services.
