We are committed to promoting social sustainability by supporting the communities in which we operate. This includes initiatives that enhance local livelihoods, promote fair labour practices, and ensure that the rights of workers are upheld. We believe in engaging with local communities to understand their needs and contribute positively to their development.

Pollution Prevention

Preventing pollution is a core principle of our operations. We are dedicated to eliminating harmful practices such as open burning and achieving zero waste to landfill in our palm oil mills through comprehensive waste management systems.

Greenhouse Gas Management

Addressing greenhouse gas emissions is vital for our sustainability objectives. We focus on initiatives that improve land use and promote reforestation efforts to reduce our overall carbon footprint.

Biomethane Capturing

Implementing biomethane capturing technologies is an innovative approach we embrace to enhance sustainability. By capturing methane emissions from organic waste processing in our palm mills, we can convert these emissions into renewable energy, thereby reducing our operational carbon footprint.

Our commitment to compliance with RSPO and MSPO certification requirements, adherence to local and international laws, promoting social sustainability, and implementing pollution prevention strategies underscores our resolution to protect and preserve the natural environment.
