We held workshops on the methodology for identifying human rights risks in the palm oil sector
On June 25th and 26th, we held the first two workshops to socialize the “Methodology for Identifying Human Rights Risks in the Palm Oil Sector,” which we have been working on in partnership with Fedepalma and Cenipalma since 2023.
These sessions mark the beginning of a crucial phase to ensure the adoption of the highest human rights standards throughout the entire palm oil value chain. For Fedepalma, it is essential that this methodology is understood and applied both internally—especially by Cenipalma’s social outreach area—and externally with the palm oil nuclei.
The general objective of these workshops is to strengthen the participants’ knowledge and capacity to begin implementing this methodology, as well as understanding the vulnerability dynamics in the sector’s operating contexts.
By transferring this knowledge and associated practices to the producers, we aim to promote the integration of human rights into all sector activities. This is a key step towards a fairer and more sustainable future for palm oil in Colombia.
