MATERIAL SUSTAINABILITY TOPICS Our sustainability strategy draws directly from 15 material topics, which we identified, prioritised and validated through a comprehensive materiality assessment conducted in 2024. The exercise involved a three‑stage review process, i.e. benchmarking our initial material topics against peers and industry standards to identify emerging trends, engaging with stakeholders and securing final validation from our Sustainability Think Tank (STT) and the Board. 1. protection of forests, peatlands and biodiversity; 2. fire control and haze prevention; 3. climate change and GHG emissions; 4. energy management; 5. water, waste and effluents; 6. use of fertilisers, pesticides and chemicals; 7. responsible business conduct; 8. community rights and relations; 9. occupational health and safety; 10. smallholder engagement and livelihoods; 11. supply chain traceability and transparency; 12. sustainability certification; 13. product quality and safety; 14. yield resilience and innovation; and 15. human, child and labour rights. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Regular stakeholder dialogues are crucial to our Sustainable Agriculture Policy and our commitment to sustainable palm oil production. We connect, engage and collaborate with our key stakeholders (employees, customers, investors, government and civil organisations and local communities) through various platforms to strengthen mutual interests and establish common goals. To ensure product safety, we conduct production audits. We also engage with customers through public seminars and customer satisfaction surveys. As part of the ISPO certification process, we maintain regular contact with suppliers, customers, grower cooperatives and government ministries. As our agribusiness operations are vital to the livelihoods of many who live near our plantations, we aim to advance community resilience and socio-economic development. We uphold FPIC, particularly regarding land acquisition, by conducting Social Impact Assessments to understand community needs before initiating new projects. We also promote open negotiation and inclusive decisionmaking with local communities. These efforts come under our Solidarity Programme, which encompasses initiatives in fire-control awareness, education, health, infrastructure development, micro-enterprise support, farmer training, culture preservation and humanitarian efforts.
