SCS Global Services participated in the RSPO RT 2024 in Bangkok, a key event for sustainability and the advancement of sustainable palm oil certification worldwide. Our CEO, Matt R., Chief of Staff and Chief Assurance Officer, Diana Kirsanova Phillips, Regional Director of Southeast Asia, Todd Frank and Program Manager, Adriana Cala, represented SCS at this important conference. During the event, they not only attended key sessions but also had the opportunity to engage and collaborate closely with strategic allies and stakeholders, including Solidaridad and RSPO. Additionally, it was invaluable to share experiences and perspectives with representatives from smallholder groups across different regions, including Aproman, Paiguay, and Sierra Leone ISH. These producers play an essential role in building a more just and sustainable supply chain for all. Our commitment to developing sustainable solutions and responsible certification is strengthened through partnerships and dialogues like these. Together, we are driving toward a greener and more equitable future. #Sustainability #PalmOil #RT2024 #RSPO
