Certifications
RSPO Certification
IOI integrates sustainability into every aspect of its operations through its commitment to produce in an environmentally sound and sustainable manner. As a founding member of the RSPO, we have been playing an active role in promoting sustainable practices since its inception in 2004. We also advocate sustainable agricultural practices in its estates to bring growth and use of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) to the world market. To date, all of our palm oil mills and estates in Malaysia (except mills and estates of our newly-acquired entity Unico-Desa Plantation Berhad) have successfully attained the RSPO certification.

RSPO NEXT
Our existing plantations in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah (except recently acquired plantations which are covered under a time-bound plan) are 100% RSPO certified. We will now build on this by committing to implement RSPO NEXT in our Malaysian plantations, commencing end of 2016. RSPO NEXT is a voluntary effort to go beyond RSPO Principles and Criteria, it covers the following categories: No Deforestation, No Fire, No Planting on Peat, Reduction of GHGs, Respect for Human Rights and Transparency and are applicable at an organization wide level, including investments, joint ventures and in the organization’s wider supply base.
Supply Chain Certification
Further to RSPO certification for our palm oil mills and supply bases, all of our operating units and supply chain units in Malaysia and overseas have successfully obtained the RSPO Supply Chain Certification which allows IOI to sell CSPO to our clients worldwide.

ISCC Certification
IOI is also actively pursuing the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) for our palm oil mills and estates in Malaysia. ISCC is the first international certification system that can be used to prove sustainability and greenhouse gas savings for all kinds of bio-mass and bio-energy.

MSPO
In March 2018, IOI's Sustainable Palm Oil Policy (SPOP) was revised to include our commitment towards MSPO certification. Under Section 4 “Existing Plantations” of the SPOP, IOI stated that we are “committing towards sustainable production of palm oil and its continuous improvement as outlined in the MSPO guidelines. In supporting the Malaysian government’s target, we will ensure all our Malaysian plantations are MSPO certified by the end of 2018.”
