Standards and Certifications

FGV remains committed to ensuring that all its 66 mills and supply bases are RSPO-compliance since 2010. As of the mid of 2025, 31 of FGV’s mills and its supply bases are RSPO-certified, while the rest of the uncertified mills have undergone and completed all required preparation and are ready to commence the certification process. FGV expects to achieve RSPO certification for all its remaining uncertified mills within 24 months upon the removal of the deferment by the RSPO for FGV to certify its uncertified mills.

 

FGV has been actively collaborating with stakeholders and other industry members in the development and enhancement of MSPO, Malaysia’s first palm oil sustainability certification scheme. We are also among the first few plantation companies to be MSPO certified since 2015.

In 2025, we maintained the MSPO certification for all of FGV’s 66 mills and its supply base, and we will continue to ensure we comply with sustainable practices through regular monitoring, evaluation and performance improvement.

ISCC is the first biofuel standard to be recognised by the EU and the most widely acknowledged amongst the many biofuel standards available today. Independent third-party certification ensures compliance with high ecological and social sustainability requirements, greenhouse gas emissions savings and traceability throughout the supply chain. FGV has sought ISCC certification since 2011, and the number of mills with ISCC certification is dependent on market demand to accommodate the requirement for sustainable biofuel market in Europe. FGV had certified up to 15 mills in the past when the demand for palm-based biofuel (Palm Methyl Ester) was high.
