Abstract
The mission of the company Palmeras de Puerto Wilches S. A. is to transform the fruit of the oil palm into opportunities, in order to achieve efficiency and good agroindustrial practices. As a way to respond to this directive, the company outlined a route approximately six years ago to differentiate production towards a sustainable market; however, there was no methodology to validate and monitor compliance established by international certifications, such as the RSPO (Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil) and the ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification). La misión de la empresa Palmeras de Puerto Wilches S. A. es transformar el fruto de la palma de aceite en oportunidades, con el fin de alcanzar la eficiencia y buenas prácticas agroindustriales. Como una manera de responder a esta directriz, la empresa trazó una ruta hace aproximadamente seis años, para diferenciar la producción hacia un mercado sostenible; sin embargo, no existía una metodología definida para validar y monitorear el cumplimiento de las prácticas de sostenibilidad que establecen las certificaciones internacionales, como la RSPO (Mesa Redonda sobre Aceite de Palma Sostenible) y la ISCC (Certificación Internacional de Sostenibilidad y Carbono).
