About RSPO Supply Chain (SCCS)

The RSPO Supply Chain Certification Standard (SCCS) ensures that sustainable palm oil from RSPO-certified mills is tracked through the supply chain to the end consumer. RSPO offers four chain models with progressively less strict physical separation: IP (one mill), SG (multiple certified mills), MB (mixed with conventional), and B&C (credits only). The standard was updated in 2020.
