CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges the Indonesian
agriculture industry will face in the coming decades. Our industry
relies heavily on the rain to water the crops. A change in rainfall
patterns and other climatic variables have a direct impact on our
operations across the entire supply chain.
Carbon footprint is a key materiality issue. We prohibit planting
on peatland for new developments, and have taken steps to lower
our carbon footprint by adopting sustainable practices.

In 2013, we collaborated with the RSPO GHG Workgroup in a pilot
to use the RSPO GHG Calculator to measure the carbon footprint
of our RSPO certified estates and mills to set a carbon baseline
for the Group. The distribution of products has been left out of
the scope for time being. The table below covers two palm oil
mills and the seven oil palm estates supplying these mills. The
mills produce 110,985 tonnes of CPO. All mills and estates in
this pilot sites have been RSPO certified.
Calculating our carbon footprint is the first phase of our commitment
towards reducing our impact on climate change. In 2014, we
will begin the second phase, which will include calculating the
carbon footprint for all the palm oil estates, mills, bulk stations and
refineries in the Group and set targets for carbon reduction. We
are in the process of developing mitigation strategies that comply
with the Group’s existing sustainability policies and principles.
In 2013, the CO2 is an average of 1.73 per tonne of CPO and per
tonne of PK. GHG reduction in our current calculation is from
crop sequestration. The High Conservation Value areas in these
two pilot sites cover 314 hectares. These areas are not included
yet as a carbon sink. In 2014, we will review how to determine
the carbon absorption value of these carbon sinks.
