February 10, 2016Can companies trust palm oil audits?
Ahead of our next forum on how business can tackle deforestation, we held a webinar addressing audit integrity in the palm oil industry.
In their recent report “Who watches the watchmen”, the
Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and its research partner Grassroots,
highlight third party auditors that are carrying out methodologically flawed
fieldwork and producing substandard, biased reports that fail to identify and
mitigate unsustainable practices by oil palm companies.
The report argues that a lack of clear, mandatory, and enforceable
guidelines has allowed auditors to omit or disguise serious flaws in the
operations of plantation companies and in some cases even to collude with
plantation companies to disguise violations of the RSPO standard.
In response to the report, the RSPO has established a task force
to ensure full implementation of “quality, oversight and credibility of RSPO assessments”.
Our webinar will debate the need for reform of the RSPO system, to
provide palm oil growers and auditors with clear, mandatory, and enforceable
guidelines that will help auditors to do a better job.
Speaking are:
Jago Wadley, senior forest campaigner, Environmental Investigation Agency
Scott Poynton, founder, TFT
Paul Wolvekamp, deputy director, Both ENDS, board member of
RSPO
Andrew Ng, founder, Grassroots
Moderator: Ian Welsh, publishing director, Innovation Forum
