Webinar: The SPOD Manifesto, an engagement tool to achieve greater impact

Launched at the Sustainable Palm Oil Dialogue (SPOD) 2022, the Manifesto has so far received 14 endorsements by  companies, NGOs, and collaborative initiatives all agreeing on the need to take action to achieve sustainability in the palm oil value chain. The Manifesto focuses on actions in four areas: physical sourcing, smallholders’ inclusion, landscape approaches, and communication.

In this webinar, experts from RSPO and IDH will showcase concrete examples of activities that companies can implement in the areas of smallholder inclusion and landscape approaches, with contributions from current endorsers. New endorsers of the manifesto will also be announced.
