SCS Global Services (SCS) is the first certification body in North America accredited to conduct assessments under the new Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Principles & Criteria (P&C) Standard. This accreditation sets the stage for SCS to certify sustainable palm plantations and mills internationally. The standard was revealed at the 16th annual RSPO event in Malaysia.
The 2018 P&C Standard incorporates important new safeguards for palm oil production aimed at halting deforestation, protecting endangered wildlife and peatlands, strengthening human rights, and protecting workers.
The SCS accreditation was conducted by Accreditation Services International, including a review of its audit performed in Guatemala in May 2018 with Nacional Agro Industrial S.A.
In addition to being accredited to the RSPO P&C Standard, SCS has been an accredited certifier to the RSPO Supply Chain Standard since January 2017.
