As pioneering implementers of the RSPO Principles and Criteria, we have a strong in-house capacity in implementing the RSPO and driving continuous improvement. Global Sustainability Associates was established to share this knowledge and insights. To date, GSA has undertaken projects in Brazil, Peru, EU, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, PNG and the Solomon Islands.

Our work is diverse and we now have a wide network of associates working with companies, NGOs and governments. Much of the current work is focused on smallholder issues associated with certification and on due diligence of the supply chain. We offer bespoke evaluation of sustainability compliance requirements and quality standard implementations for RSPO, OHSA, ISO 140001, amongst others. Other key services include Strategy and Policy Development, Implementation of Policy and Standards, Organisational Capacity Building, Progress Assessment, Research and Innovation, Stakeholder Engagement and Good Governance
