SPOTT assesses, scores and ranks 50 of the largest palm oil producers and traders against a revised framework of 125 transparency indicators. Investors and buyers can use SPOTT assessments to inform screening, sourcing and due diligence processes.

SPOTT provides transparency assessments and scorecards of companies to monitor the public disclosure of their policies, operations, commitments and progress towards implementing environmental, social and governance (ESG) best practice.

Formerly the Sustainable Palm Oil Transparency Toolkit, SPOTT is expanding to assess producers and traders of other commodities, beginning with timber, pulp and paper companies assessed from October 2017.
