Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SD Gs) are desgined to achieve a better and more sustainable future for mankind. The SDGs focus on the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic prosperity, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. The SDGs aim to eradicate poverty, hunger and inequality; to improve welfare and fulfilment of livelihood; to create peace and social participation; to prevent the planet from environmental degradation and to promote partnership to attain SDGs by 2030. The SDGs encourage countries and the private sector to support and advance these goals. SDGs provide the framework for guiding and gauging a corporations business action and set benchmarks against which they will be held accountable. The palm oil industry is made up of large, medium and small sized entities. They all have different capabilities to commit to these strict sustainability standards. This paper reviews the sustainable practices of the large oil palm plantations and the palm oil industry matching them against the SDGs with the objective to examine and identify where farther advancement can be made by the industry to move forward. Gaps are identified and presented in this paper. Keywords: UN SDG, palm oil, sustainable development.

可持续发展目标——棕榈油行业的基准

可持续发展目标旨在为人类创造更美好、更可持续的未来。可持续发展目标关注可持续发展的三个方面:经济繁荣、社会包容和环境可持续性。可持续发展目标旨在消除贫困、饥饿和不平等;改善福利及民生;创造和平和社会参与;防止地球环境恶化，促进伙伴关系，到2030年实现可持续发展目标。可持续发展目标鼓励各国和私营部门支持和推进这些目标。可持续发展目标提供了指导和衡量企业商业行为的框架，并设定了企业负责的基准。棕榈油行业由大型、中型和小型实体组成。他们都有不同的能力来履行这些严格的可持续性标准。本文回顾了大型油棕种植园和棕榈油行业的可持续实践，并将其与可持续发展目标相匹配，目的是研究和确定该行业可以在哪些方面取得进一步的进步。本文确定并介绍了差距。关键词:联合国可持续发展目标，棕榈油，可持续发展。
