The International Palm Oil Sustainability Conference 2022 (IPOSC 2022) is MPOC's biannual conference that highlights the sustainability challenges and opportunities in the Malaysian palm oil industry to stakeholders involved in the palm oil sustainability debate.
IPOSC 2022 has now approached its 7th edition since its introduction in 2008. This year's event is back to its physical format, after being organized online in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With a number of current and emerging sustainability challenges, there is a crucial need to continue engaging and updating the Malaysian palm oil industry.
The focus areas include global initiatives to achieve Net Zero and decarbonisation efforts, as well as international deforestation linked legislations which will impact commodities like palm oil. In meeting these challenges, IPOSC 2022 serves to create awareness, facilitate engagements and foster collaboration opportunities amongst stakeholders through its presentations and discussions, industry exhibitions and networking sessions.
Reflecting on the palm oil industry's role as one of the sectors at the forefront of Malaysia's corporate sustainability initiatives which include sustainability certifications, sustainability reporting and ESG governance, the theme for IPOSC 2022 is Shifting Sustainability Compliance into Sustainability Stewardship, as MPOC would like to position the Malaysian palm oil industry as a leader in Malaysia's corporate sectors and industries' sustainability and ESG engagements.
In reflecting the depth and scope of the conference theme and objectives, a number of exciting programmes have been planned in the conference.
The highlights include:
- Plenary Paper by YBhg. Tan Sri Dr. Zakri Abdul Hamid, Joint Chairman, Malaysian IndustryGovernment Group for High Technology (MIGHT) & Former Science Advisor to the Prime Minister of Malaysia
- Eight presentations by policy makers and experts on Net Zero, decarbonisation opportunities and global sustainability barriers and accelerators in the Palm Oil Industry

- Launching of MySawit Adventure Educational Toolkit developed via a MPOC-UPM collaboration and MPOC-IChemE-POPSIG Infographic Competition Prize Giving Ceremony
