Public Comment and Briefing on Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Calculator for the MSPO Standards (MS2530:2022)

The MS 2530:2022 standard series and the MS2751:2022 contain requirements for all certified entities to be aware of and/or conduct greenhouse gas (GHG) assessments. This is in line with contributing to the national commitment to climate change, where all actors along the value chain shall identify the sources of GHG emissions, monitor, and plan for reductions, whenever applicable.

The intent of the criterion on GHG is for the organisation to monitor and create awareness of energy usage including renewable energy and GHG as well as to support national commitments by using the stepwise approach listed in the standard. For this purpose, MPOCC has developed a GHG calculator specifically for MSPO-certified entities.
