    Collective Intel for Human Rights Due Diligence
    \nInitiated in April 2025, the FONAP member project \u201cCollective Intel for Good\u201d brings together knowledge, practical experience and collaborative partnerships to identify and address human rights risks in palm oil production. Led by FONAP member Wild Asia, the project focuses on three of the world\u2019s largest palm oil-producing countries, with the aim of gaining a deeper, practice-oriented understanding of systemic social challenges. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n

    Giving local voices a platform<\/h2>\n \n
    \n

    The project\u2019s core objective is to make visible the lived realities of smallholders, plantation workers and Indigenous communities\u2014groups that are often most affected by human rights violations, yet rarely have the opportunity to be heard. Through local consultations, documentation of abuse cases and contextual analyses, the project aims to bridge the gap between challenges in countries of origin and responsibility along the supply chain. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n

    Closing knowledge gaps<\/h2>\n \n
    \n

    Social risks such as land conflicts, exploitative working conditions, gender-based violence and the displacement of communities remain widespread in key production regions. The complexity and lack of transparency in palm oil supply chains often mean that this information reaches companies, regulators and civil society actors along the supply chain only with delay\u2014or not at all. The project recognises that existing risk mitigation strategies are often insufficient\u2014they are too far removed from realities on the ground, too theoretical, or developed without incorporating the perspectives of those most affected. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n

    Towards actionable due diligence<\/h2>\n \n
    \n

    By fostering collective intelligence\u2014shared knowledge built through collaboration, trust and a dialogue with affected communities that still needs to be established\u2014this project supports FONAP members in better understanding where and how action is needed. \u201cCollective Intel for Good\u201d promotes dialogue between companies. It creates an exchange on their role in mitigating these risks, and on how responsible sourcing can go beyond mere compliance and include genuine accountability as well as dialogue with frontline actors. <\/p>\n

    Together, we aim to further develop human rights due diligence into a more inclusive, better-informed and more effective practice\u2014one grounded in the realities of those at the heart of palm oil production.<\/p>\n

    The pilot phase of this member project is scheduled for nine months and will be accompanied by a thorough evaluation to assess impact and next steps. Through greater transparency and accountability across the entire palm oil supply chain, FONAP and its partners aim to drive sustainable, effective improvements in human rights in the sector. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1002","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1002"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1002\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1251,"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1002\/revisions\/1251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumpalmoel.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
