What does RSPO SG mean?

What is RSPO SCCS Segregation (SG)?

RSPO's SG supply chain model ensures that the RSPO-certified palm oil products and their derivatives such as palm kernel oil delivered to the end-user come from only RSPO SG-certified sources – i.e. that they are kept segregated from other non-certified products. See the figure above.

The model does, however, permit the mixing of RSPO SG-certified palm oil from a variety of sources. The SG supply chain model assures that 100% of the physical product originates from RSPO-certified estates/plantations. However, the physical oil will not be uniquely identified to a specific estate/plantation as in the case of Identity Preserved.

The SG approach requires that the RSPO CSPO from estates/plantations is kept separately from material from non-RSPO certified estates/plantations at every stage of production, processing, refining and manufacturing throughout the supply chain.

To maintain our RSPO SCCS SG certification, Palsgaard has clear procedures and record-keeping to assure and verify that the RSPO SG-certified raw materials we use are kept separated from non-certified materials during transport, storage and production.
