RSPO PROCEDURE

EX : Olam Gabon – Feintrenie 2014

(1) the government accepted, in principle, to lease a concession to

Olam

(2) Olam consulted with the communities which would potentially be

affected, assessed the effect the plantation projects would have,

and then signed a Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in each

village

(3) where FPICs were refused by the local population, the land was

excluded from the concession

(4) Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) were carried

out

(5) High Conservation Value (HCV) zones, where the environmental

impacts of the project would be negative, were excluded from the

concession
