MSPO Trace was developed by MPOCC to monitor certification audited by Accredited Certification Bodies (ACBs) and traceability of the MSPO supply chain. It was launched in November 2019 and envisioned as a solution to all MSPO and trading activities of Malaysian palm oil.

According to Natural Habit Adventure, there are only about 1,500 Pygmy elephants surviving in the wild, the majority of which are in Sabah, Malaysia.

MSPO plays a vital role in preserving biodiversity in Malaysia with the introduction of High Conservation Value (HCV) guidelines to its stakeholders, emphasizing the biological, ecological, social, and cultural values in the palm oil industry.

Palm oil is more than just produce, it is beneficial for the economy. The production of palm oil has doubled day by day and is expected to grow even more in the future as the world demands kept on increasing.

Principle 5 is for the organisation to commit to environmental management, conservation and protection, prevention of pollution, optimising use of natural resources, and mitigating the impacts of global warming.

MPOCC took the opportunity to spread MSPO awareness in the Philippines as the Philippines is the biggest Malaysian palm oil importer in the ASEAN region
