RSPO calls for additional Complaints Panel members

RSPO calls for additional Complaints Panel members

The review of the RSPO Complaints System was successfully completed in December 2014 (http://www.rspo.org/news-and-events/announcements/a-review-of-complaints-system-of-the-rspo-final-report) and one of the recommendations arising from the review relates to the management of the Complaints System.  In line with the recommendation of the review, particular emphasis is given to recruiting more women and individuals from the Global South, while ensuring that the Complaints Panel group contains a diversity of relevant discipline and competencies.

RSPO calls for additional Complaints Panel members to increase the numbers in each of the five membership category, namely:

(a) Environmental NGO
(b) Social/development NGO
(c) Growers
(d) Processor/Trader, Consumer Goods Manufacturer, Retailer or Banks/Investors
(e) Affiliate Member

Interested candidates should have a proven area of expertise in one or more of the above categories. At present, RSPO urgently need candidates in the Processor/Trader, Consumer Goods Manufacturer, Retailer or Banks/Investors category.

Kindly apply with your updated resume to RSPO Head of Impacts at sanath.kumaran@rspo.org giving details on your intention.  The RSPO reserves the right to accept or decline without any disputes raised.

Best regards,
