This toolkit was developed to help equip palm oil producers who are looking to build a social compliance program with basic knowledge and tools.
It is available in Bahasa, English, and Spanish languages in both an interactive online format and as a downloadable file.
Development of this toolkit was spearheaded by Verité Southeast Asia (VSEA), with generous support from Mars, Incorporated and Nestlé. VSEA has been closely involved in developing human rights standards and strengthening assurance systems for the palm sector for more than a decade. This toolkit distills VSEA’s deep experience capacitating palm oil buyers and brands, traders and producers, as well as auditing firms and social advocacy groups, to develop and implement labor programs.
VSEA would like to express gratitude to Wilmar International for providing insight to the toolkit through their own work on the ground and the initiatives they have taken to improve the working conditions of their suppliers.
VSEA would also like to thank Golden Agri-Resources, Musim Mas, and independent expert Kamini Visvananthan for reviewing the toolkit.
