The Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) Certification Scheme has been officially accepted by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) as a Private Control System (PCS) for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). MSPO is now listed on the NVWA’s official register.

A Dutch competent authority has reviewed MSPO’s standards, audit system and certification process, and recognised MSPO as a third-party assurance system that can support NVWA supervision for the EUDR.

MSPO-certified shipments may qualify for modified supervision, potentially fewer and shorter inspections, supporting smoother and more efficient access to the European market.

At the same time, we must remain clear-eyed. Certification supports, but does not replace, an operator’s legal obligations under the EUDR. Traceability, due diligence and proper documentation remain essential. With this acceptance secured, MSPO will continue working closely with NVWA on the next steps.

This milestone did not happen overnight. It reflects years of hard work and belief in Malaysia’s ability to build a credible national sustainability standard.

This achievement belongs to everyone: our smallholders, industry players, auditors, accredited certification bodies, our local and global partners, the Ministry and above all, Team MSPO!, who worked tirelessly to make this a success. Thank you, every single one of you.

Deepest appreciation also to our Chairman and Board of Trustees for their steady guidance, and to NVWA for the constructive and collaborative engagement throughout this journey.

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗢𝗶𝗹 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

What a session! Last week we gathered the industry for our Stakeholder Consultation on MSPO 2.0, led by Mr Muhammad Haris Abdullah, Chief Technical Officer of MSPO, and the energy in the room said a lot about where this sector is heading.

We came to share where MSPO 2.0 stands today, how far we’ve come since rollout, the milestones we’re proud of, and the hard, unglamorous work still underway to keep this standard credible, robust, and practical for the people who live with it every day.

But the best part wasn’t the sharing but the listening. Hearing straight from the industry players and partners, the real challenges on the ground, the honest pushback. That’s what keeps a standard grounded. A certification that earns respect abroad means little if it doesn’t work for the Malaysian players in the field, and we’re set on delivering both.

Sessions like this are a good reminder that you don’t transform an industry from behind a desk. It takes showing up, talking straight, trusting one another, and being willing to work through the messy, complicated bits together.

Grateful to everyone who joined us and we were all excited for the road ahead as MSPO 2.0 takes root across the sector.

𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗦𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗢 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗕𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗬: 𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗨𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘-𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦

This month, MSPO was honoured to participate in three important regional and industry platforms shaping the future of sustainability, climate action and low-carbon development.

Mr Darmarisyanto Alias, Director of Certification Scheme Unit & eMSPO System, represented MSPO as a speaker and panelist at the Bioenergy, Biomass, Biofuels & Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Asia Summit 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, sharing perspectives on how credible sustainability assurance, digital traceability and transparent supply chains can support the growth of responsible bioeconomy sectors, while positioning sustainable palm oil and biomass as key contributors to the low-carbon transition.

At the Malaysia Palm Carbon (MPC) 2026 Conference, Mr Tan Chee Yong, Director of Biomass and GHG, moderated the plenary forum, “From Plantation to Carbon Market – How Stakeholders Can Participate”, facilitating discussions on carbon markets, project development and pathways for industry participation. The session underscored the growing importance of credible sustainability practices, emissions data and market-ready frameworks in unlocking new opportunities within the low-carbon economy.

Building on these discussions, Mr Tan Chee Yong subsequently represented MSPO at the Climate Futures APAC Summit 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand, where policymakers, industry leaders, sustainability practitioners and climate experts gathered to explore the future of low-carbon and climate-resilient supply chains across the Asia-Pacific region. Discussions focused on strengthening carbon transparency, meeting evolving market expectations and enhancing long-term competitiveness in an increasingly sustainability-driven global economy.

Across all three engagements, one message stood out clearly: 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. Before emissions can be measured, managed and reduced, organisations must first establish credible sustainability practices, transparency and traceability throughout their operations and supply chains.

Whether discussing carbon transparency, climate resilience, sustainable aviation fuel or carbon markets, one principle remains constant: 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.

On 8 and 9 June 2026, selected Malaysian palm oil practitioners participated in a two-day knowledge exchange with experts at the University of Oxford. The workshop brought together close to 20 participants from diverse backgrounds, including researchers, global agribusiness sustainability leads, certification specialists, and civil society representatives.

Sessions covered nature-based solutions, agricultural resilience, and sustainable land management, with discussions delving deeper into biodiversity monitoring, soil health, as well as climate adaptation. Running through each topic was a shared focus on the practical barriers that smallholders and large producers face in putting these approaches to work on the ground.

Representing Malaysia were representatives from MSPO, The Ministry of Plantation and Commodities (KPK), and also in attendance was *Tuan Haji Adzmi Hassan*, President of the National Association of Smallholders Malaysia (NASH), ensuring smallholder perspectives were part of the dialogue.

Credible sustainability standards are built through regulation, strengthened implementation, and international peer dialogue. The participation at Oxford reflected a commitment to all three, a signal that Malaysia's sustainability journey is one of active engagement, not passive certification.

𝗠𝗦𝗣𝗢 𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗦𝗜𝗔 𝗣𝗔𝗟𝗠 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗕𝗢𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 🌴

MSPO was honoured to take part in the Malaysia Palm Carbon Conference 2026, hosted by FELDA and FGV, officiated by YB Dato' Seri Arthur Joseph Kurup, the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister where industry, government, academia and finance gathered to chart a credible path for palm-based carbon and biomass value.

Delivering the Call to Action remarks, Mr. Mohd Hasbollah Suparyono outlined the day’s discussions into three key messages:

1. The opportunity is real, from agricultural carbon credits to the valorisation of palm biomass and by-products, responsible practices can create genuine new value beyond compliance.

2. The opportunity is conditional, it requires credible methodologies, reliable data, robust Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems, and strong governance.

3. The opportunity must be inclusive, its benefits must reach the smallholders and settlers whose stewardship has shaped Malaysia’s palm oil journey for decades.

Hasbollah highlighted that transparency, scientific integrity and consistency are the foundations of trust. Without credibility, confidence cannot be established and confidence is essential for the long-term success of a sustainable carbon market.

MSPO stands ready to play its part by providing the credibility, assurance and certification data needed to underpin a trusted carbon market, while ensuring that no smallholder is left behind in the transition.

The conversation does not end here.

The foundations have been laid, the opportunities are clear and the responsibility is shared.

The action begins now.

Today is World Environment Day.

Malaysia is home to over 15,000 species of flowering plants, more than 300 freshwater fish species and lush tropical rainforests that is among the oldest in the world.

MSPO certification requires the assessment and protection of High Conservation Value areas, the reduction of emissions, and the implementation of integrated pest management. .

Our palm oil sector sits within this setting and that proximity demands a high standard of stewardship.

MSPO is that standard.

As we continue to implement MSPO 2.0, our focus is clear, ensuring the requirements are well understood and properly applied on the ground.

Through our industry engagement and capacity building programmes, MSPO has focused on key areas such as GHG reporting, High Conservation Value (HCV), Social Impact Assessment (SIA), e-MSPO, and MSPO Part 4-3 for Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) Dealers.

From January to April 2026, MSPO recorded 748 participations across various locations nationwide, involving industry players, independent smallholder groups, associations such as the Malaysia Oleochemical Manufacturers Group (MOMG), The East Malaysia Planters’ Association (EMPA) and Certification Bodies.

These efforts matter because good standards can only create real impact when they are implemented well. This requires capable people, reliable data, and consistent verification.

Strong implementation helps turn standards into action. It supports certification uptake, strengthens the supply of MSPO-CSPO, and builds greater confidence in Malaysian sustainable palm oil.

For MSPO, working closely with the industry is not just part of implementation. It is part of building long-term resilience for Malaysia’s palm oil sector.
