Assessment Methodology, Programme, Site Visits A pre-audit to RSPO Principles and Criteria was conducted on 26th - 28th January 2015 to determine progress Bukit Santuai POM and its supply base has made towards certification. The Initial Certification Audit was conducted on 26th – 29th May 2015. The audit programme is included as Appendix D. The approach to the audit was to treat the mill and its supply base as an RSPO Certification Unit. Mill was audited together with the sample estates. A range of environmental and social factors were covered. This includes consideration of topography, palm age, proximity to areas with HCVs, declared conservation areas and local communities. The methodology for collection of objective evidence included physical site inspections, observation of tasks and processes, interviews of staff, workers and their families and external stakeholders, review of documentation and monitoring data. RSPO P&C 2013 was used as Checklists and questionnaires were used to guide the collection of information to assess compliance. The comments made by external stakeholders were also taken into account in the assessment. Meetings were held with stakeholders to seek their views on the performance of the company with respect to the RSPO requirements and aspects where they considered that improvements could be made. At the start of each meeting, the interviewer explained the purpose of the audit followed by an evaluation of the relationship between the stakeholder and the company before discussions proceeded. The interviewer recorded comments made by stakeholders and these have been incorporated into the assessment findings. Structured worker interviews with male and female workers and staff were held in private at the workplace in the mill and the estates. Fieldworkers were interviewed informally in small groups in the field. In addition, the wives of workers and staff were interviewed in informal group meetings at their housing. Separate visits were made to each of the local communities to meet with the village head and residents. Company officials were not present at any of the internal or external stakeholder interviews. A list of Stakeholders contacted is included as Appendix E. The assessment findings for the recertification are detailed in Section 3.3. This report is structured to provide a summary of assessment finding as attached in the Appendix A.
