Aryo Gustomo, SGS RSPO Accreditation Manager comments: "We're delighted that ASI has confirmed SGS Indonesia’s accreditation for RSPO certification, worldwide. We’ll strive to exceed the expectations of all stakeholders, RSPO, ASI and our certificate holders through good technical governance and efficient management of the scheme."
