Malaysia’s Sustainable Palm Oil Standard for Today’s World
Global regulations evolve and timelines shift, but Malaysia’s sustainability direction remains steady. Through MSPO, responsible production, resilient ecosystems and long-term competitiveness are built on verified performance, not external pressure.
ABOUT US
From Malaysia to the World: Championing Sustainable Palm Oil Excellence

Palm oil in Malaysia is more than an export commodity. It represents livelihoods, national development and stewardship of the land. MSPO was formed not as a reaction to global regulation, but as a national framework to ensure that responsible production becomes the foundation of long-term competitiveness.

Across plantations, smallholdings, mills and supply chains, MSPO strengthens agricultural practices, safeguards ecosystems and connects Malaysian palm oil to global markets that now demand traceability, legality and independently verified evidence.

This is sustainability shaped by national direction and grounded in Malaysia’s long-term responsibilities.

Our Mandate & Purpose
MSPO defines clear sustainability requirements across Malaysia's entire palm oil supply chain. From independent smallholders to fully integrated producers, responsible production is applied fairly at every level, not selectively. Every certificate is issued through independent third-party audits based on evidence, not declaration. This universal approach provides predictability for the industry, fairness for growers and lasting credibility for Malaysia's palm oil sector.

Why MSPO Matters
MSPO reflects how Malaysia governs sustainability with structure, fairness and accountability. One national standard applies across the entire industry, ensuring that sustainability is the default, not the exceptio
Inclusivity
MSPO was designed so that every grower including nearly 450,000 independent smallholders can participate in verified sustainable supply chains. Through training, technical guidance and structured support, smallholders move beyond basic compliance toward stronger capability and growing market confidence.
Credibility
Certification under MSPO is issued only through independent third-party auditing bodies including international and national certification agencies. Sustainability performance is verified through evidence, not self-attestation, giving buyers and regulators confidence in what is being claimed.
Traceability
Digital systems strengthen supply chain visibility, enabling certified palm oil to be traced from plantation to mill and beyond. National traceability continues expanding toward full coverage of all supply chain actors.
Compliance
Aligned with MS 2530:2022 and Malaysian legislation, MSPO integrates environmental, social and governance requirements into a unified national sustainability framework.

"Malaysia committed at the Rio Earth Summit to protect at least half of its land under forest cover. That responsibility continues today."
Through traceable supply chains, verified production and inclusive participation across the industry, Malaysia upholds its environmental commitments while building economic resilience. As global markets move toward verified deforestation-free and transparent supply chains, MSPO provides the structure to meet those expectations with confidence.
Markets may adjust timelines, but expectations continue to rise. Malaysia is not waiting for compliance deadlines. Malaysia is positioning to lead.
