This Info brief compares the previous ISPO regulations with the most recent update. It provides an analysis to what extend the new regulation may improve the performance of the Indonesian oil palm sector and whether it is likely to increase the credibility and acceptance of ISPO in global markets. Indonesia is committed to honour its commitments on the Sustainable Development Goals and greenhouse gas emission targets as set at the Paris treaty on Climate Change and supply the world, including Europe, with a versatile, affordable and sustainable vegetable oil. A credible, mandatory sustainability standard appears indispensable for this and credible new ISPO regulations may well do so.
