The Malaysian Palm Oil Certification Council (MPOCC) would like to congratulate Grand Oils & Fats (Dongguan) Co. Ltd. (GIHDG) as the first facility outside of Malaysia and in the People’s Republic of China to be certified with Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil Supply Chain Certification Standard (MSPO SCCS) since 21 October 2022.

As climate change has become the focal subject at every country, it is the obligation of everyone to assist in the reversal of this phenomenon.

Mechanisation could replace human labour in the palm oil industry and MSPO supports this direction. Considering labor issues and challenges to the Malaysian commodity, the only area for growth and expansion of this sector is technological advancement.

MSPO MS2530:2022 has highlighted that the use of renewable energy shall be encouraged and applied where practical. The application shall help the Malaysian government achieve about 20 percent renewable energy (RE) capacity by 2025.

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.
