RSPO PalmTrace is the RSPO’s traceability system for certified oil palm products. From the mill to the
refineries, certified members of RSPO register their physical sales and processing activities of palm oil, palm
kernel and its (double) fractions under the supply chain models Identity Preserved, Segregated and Mass
Balance. RSPO PalmTrace also offers a marketplace and the possibility to register off market deals (Book and
Claim) for RSPO Credits. The usage of RSPO PalmTrace is part of the RSPO certification program.

RSPO PalmTrace is developed and managed by UTZ (https://www.utz.org/), based on the RSPO’s business
rules and in close cooperation with the RSPO Secretariat and the Trade & Traceability Standing Committee.
UTZ is a program and label for sustainable coffee, cocoa, tea and hazelnut, and a partner sustainability
standard to the RSPO.

How do members use RSPO PalmTrace?

Registration

All members who want to get certified, and buyers of RSPO Credits need to register in RSPO PalmTrace
(https://palmtrace.rspo.org/web/rspo/become-member). Registration needs to be done using the name of
the parent company that is an RSPO member or its subsidiaries.

Traders and distributors also need to register in RSPO PalmTrace before applying for a license.

Members who want to trade RSPO Credits under the Book and Claim supply chain model, additionally need to
fill in the set-up form for credit sellers or buyers (https://palmtrace.rspo.org/web/rspo/become-member).

License

For members who are certified, after the successful audit, the certification body uploads the audit report to

RSPO PalmTrace and requests a license for the member, which needs to be approved by the RSPO Secretariat.
The validity period of the license is one year. Both the member and the auditor will receive a yearly reminder
for the next audit.

Traders and distributors who are exempted from certification can find more information about how to
request a license in the Traders and Distributor License Guidance (https://rspo.org/key-
documents/certification/rspo-supply-chain-certification). Application for a traders or distributors license

has to be repeated annually.

Traceability System

The certified volume of mills and independent smallholder groups is the starting point for all sales under the
four supply chain models. Certified members between the mill and the refineries who make use of the supply

chain models need to register their sales and processing activities.

RSPO PalmTrace keeps track of the volumes, so they can only be sold once – either as physical or as RSPO

Credits.

This simplified supply chain for CSPO and CSPK shows the different options for RSPO members.


Which products are traced in RSPO PalmTrace?
Mills, traders, crushers, and refiners who use the supply chain model IP, SG or MB do not only register their
sales, but also their processing activities. Conversions from crude oil into refined oil, and (double) fractions are

done in the system. The available products in RSPO PalmTrace are shown in the product tree below.
Whenever a member produces a derivative outside of this product tree, the traceability in RSPO PalmTrace
ends and the volume needs to be traced. Upon tracing, a Tracing document is created as proof that the

volume has gone through RSPO PalmTrace. This PDF contains traceability information such as the mills
associated to the supply chain, and this information can be shared with clients.
(//askrspo.force.com


For the Book and Claim supply chain model, 6 different types of RSPO Credits are available:

Credits sold by mills Credits sold by crushers Credits sold by independent smallholders (IS)

CSPO CSPKO & CSPKE IS-CSPO, IS-CSPKO, IS-CSPKE

For credits traded on the market, information about the counterparty of the trade will be made available once
the match is made. Buyers of RSPO Credits will also have access to information about the mill(s) / independent
smallholder(s) where the credits originated from.

Fees
For certified oil palm products, a volume-based RSPO administration fee applies. This fee is invoiced once in
the supply chain – for physical shipments to the first buyer from the mill and for RSPO credits to the credit

buyer – and is partly for the RSPO and partly for UTZ’s traceability services. RSPO PalmTrace facilitates the
invoicing of the RSPO administration fee.

Please find below an overview of the applicable fees.

PHYSICAL SALES
Invoiced to the first buyer from the mill (Shipping Announcements)

CSPO USD 1.45 / MT

CSPK USD 0.65 / MT
