Securing Sustainability in Turbulent Times
This year, the 4th European Sustainable Palm Oil Dialogue (SPOD), will take place on 20 October 2022 in the Netherlands. After two years of digital events, we are very happy that this year’s conference will be an in-person event. The focus will be on accelerating the positive impact of sustainable palm oil in this world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA).
Innovation, legislation and communication
The dialogue is co-organised by RSPO, IDH and EPOA. To drive forward action, we will deep-dive into keyinnovations, legislation, and communication in the sustainable palm oil supply chain.
