PROTECTION OF FORESTS, PEATLAND AND BIODIVERSITY (GRI 3-3, 101-1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) We recorded zero primary forest clearance and degradation of HCV areas in 2025. Our dedication centers on the preservation of HCV and HCS areas. This commitment is operationalised through our Policy, which establishes the essential framework for all our procedures and practices. We have established biodiversity targets focused on conservation encompassing the management of HCV and HCS areas within our operations. We recognise the alignment of the Indonesian Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (IBSAP 2025–2045) with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF). To further support these national and global biodiversity goals, we will actively work to align our biodiversity efforts more closely, ensuring we contribute to broader conservation goals. Before any new planting, we apply the HCS Approach Toolkit, a standardised, science-based methodology developed by the multi-stakeholder HCS Approach Steering Group (HCSA)4, to accurately determine whether land should be cultivated or permanently preserved by identifying protected species in our concessions and surrounding areas. Each land area is given a rating based on their ecological and social significance, whether they are areas of high biodiversity, areas facing declining ecosystem integrity, areas of high water risk, or areas vital to local communities. The assessment of HCV areas is verified through internal reviews and accredited third-party assessments. The designated HCV areas within our operational landscape consist of indigenous territories, habitats for endangered species and so-called riparian zones5. In 2025, no negative impacts on primary forests or HCV areas were recorded during our planting and replanting operations. 4 HCSA is a multi-stakeholder body composed of companies, environmental NGOs, and technical experts. It was established to develop, govern, and promote the HCS Approach methodology, which aims to halt deforestation caused by the clearing of high-carbon forests for commodity production. 5 Riparian zones are areas of land directly adjacent to rivers, stream or other bodies of water that are ecologically important.
