Developed by Wild Asia and Proforest, the course is designed for auditors and members of the palm oil supply chain. Training will consist of classroom lectures, group work and practical audit exercise. This course will combine the experience and expertise of Wild Asia and the ProForest in supporting palm oil producers to meet the expectations of RSPO.
This 5-day training course that will be held in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) is designed for auditors wishing to carry out auditing for the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) producer standard, for company staff in charge of meeting RSPO requirements, and any interested stakeholders (e.g. NGOs, government officials) wanting to learn about RSPO standards and systems.
