HIGHLIGHT
ASD proudly co-organized the 7th Sustainable Palm Oil Dialogue (SPOD) for the first time
Centered on the theme of ‘Social Sustainability in Global Supply Chains,’ the 2025 edition brought together over 250 stakeholders from six continents to discuss labor rights, human rights due diligence, inclusive procurement, and responsible sourcing.
ASD also led a dedicated side session on palm-based derivatives, spotlighting the specific challenges and opportunities faced by downstream sectors such as cosmetics and home care.
The dialogue was followed by ASD’s 6th Annual General Member Meeting, providing a valuable platform for members and partners to strengthen collaboration and advance collective impact.
Positive Impact
In 2025, ASD continued to scale impact by building on long-term partnerships while exploring new areas of engagement.
