With new global expectations and increasingly stringent sustainability requirements on the horizon, Indonesia’s palm oil industry is entering a pivotal phase of transformation. On 4–5 May 2026, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), through its Indonesia Secretariat, convened a Standard Harmonisation Session in Jakarta. The event brought together a diverse range of stakeholders - including plantation companies, independent smallholders, auditors, certification bodies, consultants, and NGOs with one shared objective: preparing for the implementation of the updated RSPO Principles & Criteria (P&C) 2024 and Independent Smallholder (ISH) Standard 2024, which will officially take effect on 1 June 2026. What Are the Updated RSPO Principles & Criteria 2024 ? In simple terms, both are global sustainability standards developed by the RSPO to ensure palm oil is produced responsibly - environmentally, socially, and economically. 1. RSPO Principles & Criteria (P&C) 2024 The RSPO Principles & Criteria (P&C) 2024 serves as the primary certification standard for companies, including plantations, mills, and corporate groups. It establishes mandatory requirements for sustainable palm oil production across global supply chains. 🔑 Key Areas Covered Environmental Protection (Planet) No deforestation No peatland conversion Biodiversity protection Social Responsibility (People) Workers’ rights Community rights FPIC (Free, Prior and Informed Consent) Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) Business Ethics & Governance (Prosperity) Transparency Traceability Legal compliance The overarching goal is to ensure palm oil production balances People, Planet, and Prosperity in a measurable, transparent, and auditable way. 2. RSPO Independent Smallholder (ISH) Standard 2024 The RSPO Independent Smallholder (ISH) Standard 2024 is specifically designed for independent smallholder farmers, who typically manage smaller land areas and operate independently. The standard provides a more simplified and accessible pathway to certification while maintaining the same sustainability ambitions. 🔑 Key Areas Covered Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Environmental protection adapted to small-scale operations Social safeguards, including land rights, FPIC, and fair treatment Group certification systems (e.g. cooperatives and Internal Control Systems/ICS) Importantly, the standard recognises that independent smallholders face different capacities and operational challenges. As such, implementation follows a more practical and step-by-step approach. What Were the Key RSPO Updates Highlighted? 🌱 Stronger Environmental Commitments A major focus during the first day of the session was the Planet Pillar, where the revised standards introduced stronger environmental safeguards. Key updates include: The HCV - HCS approach is now more clearly defined and fully integrated, covering both above- and below-ground carbon stock. Sustainability requirements now explicitly extend to independent smallholders, reinforcing inclusivity across the supply chain. New indicators on water use and abstraction have been introduced to address future resource risks. The strict prohibition of deforestation and peatland conversion remains unchanged. Environmental compliance must now be reported through PRISMA, RSPO’s digital traceability system, enhancing transparency across global supply chains. 👥 Raising the Bar on Human Rights and Labour Standards Equally significant are the updates introduced under the People Pillar, reflecting a stronger emphasis on social responsibility and worker protection. Key developments include: Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) is now mandatory, aligned with international frameworks such as the UN Guiding Principles and OECD guidance. FPIC (Free, Prior and Informed Consent) remains a cornerstone requirement, supported by stronger implementation measures and annual reviews. Core operational roles, including harvesting, must now be undertaken by permanent employees in accordance with national labour regulations. Enhanced protection for women workers, including safeguards for pregnant employees and fair treatment during role reassignment. Clearer requirements surrounding recruitment practices and working hours, including limitations on consecutive working days and employer responsibility for third-party recruitment fees. 🤝 A Unified Step Towards Sustainable Transformation This harmonisation session reflects Indonesia’s ongoing commitment to aligning with evolving global sustainability expectations. With the planned introduction of INANI (Interpretasi Nasional Indonesia) by the end of May 2026, RSPO members across Indonesia will have access to a nationally contextualised framework to support implementation and compliance. 💬 Why This Matters For businesses, smallholders, and stakeholders across the palm oil value chain, these updates represent more than regulatory compliance. They signal a broader shift towards a more accountable, transparent, and future-ready palm oil industry - one that is increasingly aligned with global sustainability expectations while strengthening long-term resilience and market credibility.

Dengan meningkatnya ekspektasi global dan persyaratan keberlanjutan yang semakin ketat di masa mendatang, industri kelapa sawit Indonesia tengah memasuki fase transisi yang krusial. Pada tanggal 4–5 Mei 2026, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) melalui Sekretariat Indonesia menyelenggarakan Standard Harmonisation Session di Jakarta. Kegiatan ini mempertemukan berbagai pemangku kepentingan utama, mulai dari perusahaan perkebunan dan petani swadaya independen, auditor, lembaga sertifikasi, konsultan, hingga NGO, dengan satu tujuan bersama: mempersiapkan implementasi pembaruan RSPO Principles & Criteria (P&C) 2024 dan Independent Smallholder (ISH) Standard 2024, yang akan mulai berlaku efektif pada 1 Jun 2026. Apa itu RSPO Principles & Criteria 2024 dan RSPO Independent Smallholder Standard 2024? Secara sederhana, keduanya merupakan standar keberlanjutan global yang dikembangkan oleh RSPO untuk memastikan minyak sawit diproduksi secara bertanggung jawab dari aspek lingkungan, sosial, dan ekonomi. 1. RSPO Principles & Criteria (P&C) 2024 Standar ini merupakan skema sertifikasi utama bagi perusahaan (perkebunan, pabrik kelapa sawit, dan kelompok korporasi). Di dalamnya terdapat persyaratan wajib mengenai bagaimana minyak sawit harus diproduksi secara berkelanjutan di seluruh dunia. 🔑 Ruang lingkup utama: Perlindungan Lingkungan (Planet) Tidak ada deforestasi (no deforestation) Larangan konversi lahan gambut (no peat conversion) Perlindungan keanekaragaman hayati Tanggung Jawab Sosial (People) Hak-hak pekerja Hak masyarakat FPIC (Free, Prior and Informed Consent) Uji tuntas hak asasi manusia (human rights due diligence) Etika Bisnis & Tata Kelola (Prosperity) Transparansi Ketertelusuran (traceability) Kepatuhan hukum Tujuan utamanya adalah memastikan produksi minyak sawit mampu menyeimbangkan aspek People, Planet, dan Prosperity secara terukur dan dapat diaudit. 2. RSPO Independent Smallholder (ISH) Standard 2024 Standar ini dirancang khusus untuk petani swadaya independen, yang umumnya mengelola lahan skala kecil dan beroperasi secara mandiri. Standar ini menyediakan jalur sertifikasi yang lebih sederhana dan mudah diakses, tanpa mengurangi standar keberlanjutan yang berlaku. 🔑 Ruang lingkup utama: Praktik pertanian yang baik (Good Agricultural Practices / GAP) Perlindungan lingkungan yang disesuaikan dengan operasional skala kecil Perlindungan sosial (hak atas tanah, FPIC, perlakuan yang adil) Sistem sertifikasi kelompok (misalnya koperasi dan Internal Control System / ICS) Standar ini mengakui bahwa petani kecil memiliki kapasitas dan tantangan yang berbeda, sehingga pendekatan implementasinya dibuat lebih praktis dan bertahap. Apa saja pembaruan utama RSPO yang disoroti? 1. Penguatan Komitmen Lingkungan Salah satu fokus utama pada hari pertama adalah Pilar Planet, di mana standar terbaru memperkenalkan pengamanan lingkungan yang lebih kuat: Pendekatan HCV–HCS kini didefinisikan lebih jelas dan terintegrasi sepenuhnya, mencakup stok karbon di atas maupun di bawah permukaan tanah. Persyaratan kini secara eksplisit juga berlaku bagi petani swadaya independen, memperkuat prinsip inklusivitas dalam keberlanjutan. Indikator baru terkait penggunaan dan pengambilan air (water use and abstraction) diperkenalkan untuk mengantisipasi risiko sumber daya di masa depan. Larangan ketat terhadap deforestasi dan konversi lahan gambut tetap dipertahankan tanpa perubahan. Kepatuhan lingkungan kini wajib dilaporkan melalui PRISMA, sistem digital ketertelusuran terbaru RSPO yang meningkatkan transparansi dalam rantai pasok global. 2. Peningkatan Standar Hak Asasi Manusia dan Ketenagakerjaan Pembaruan pada Pilar People juga menjadi perhatian penting, dengan penekanan yang lebih kuat pada tanggung jawab sosial: Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) kini menjadi persyaratan wajib, sejalan dengan kerangka internasional seperti UN Guiding Principles dan pedoman OECD. FPIC (Free, Prior and Informed Consent) tetap menjadi prinsip utama, dengan penguatan implementasi serta kewajiban evaluasi tahunan. Posisi kerja inti, termasuk kegiatan panen, kini harus dilakukan oleh karyawan tetap, sesuai regulasi ketenagakerjaan nasional. Perlindungan bagi pekerja perempuan diperkuat, termasuk perlindungan bagi pekerja hamil dan perlakuan yang adil saat penyesuaian pekerjaan. Aturan yang lebih jelas terkait praktik rekrutmen dan jam kerja diterapkan, termasuk pembatasan hari kerja berturut-turut serta tanggung jawab perusahaan atas biaya perekrutan pihak ketiga. 🤝 Langkah Bersama Menuju Transformasi Berkelanjutan Sesi harmonisasi ini mencerminkan komitmen berkelanjutan Indonesia dalam menyelaraskan diri dengan perkembangan standar keberlanjutan global. Dengan diperkenalkannya INANI (Interpretasi Nasional Indonesia) pada akhir Mei 2026, anggota RSPO di seluruh Indonesia akan memiliki kerangka implementasi yang lebih kontekstual sesuai kondisi nasional. 💬 Mengapa Hal Ini Penting? Bagi perusahaan, petani swadaya, serta seluruh pemangku kepentingan dalam rantai nilai, pembaruan ini bukan sekadar kewajiban kepatuhan (compliance). Lebih dari itu, perubahan ini mencerminkan pergeseran menuju industri minyak sawit yang lebih akuntabel, transparan, dan siap menghadapi tantangan masa depan.
