The table below describes our key materiality issues and progress. In 2013/2014, we shall be reviewing other
materiality issues and the extension of the sustainability framework to other crops produced by IndoAgri.
MATERIALITY ISSUE DESCRIPTION PROGRESS 2012/2013
Carbon footprint, including
no peat planting and deforestation
(See page 41)
Planting on peat land and
deforestation contributes to global
carbon emissions. The RSPO
carbon workgroup has developed
guidelines for members to
calculate the carbon footprint and
seek advice on carbon reduction.
We developed policies to reduce
our carbon footprint:
- Zero burn policy since 2007.
- No planting on peat land.
Environmental footprint,
including biodiversity
(See page 34-42)
Our environmental footprint
includes use of pesticides,
inorganic fertilisers, water usage,
waste generation and biodiversity.
RSPO provides guidelines on best
practices and High Conservation
Value areas.
ERM risk: environmental
compliance and operational risk
We developed policies to reduce
our environmental footprint:
- Implementation of integrated
pest management system
(policy).
- Waste reduction by recycling
the by-products - Palm Oil Mill
Effluent (POME) and Empty
Fruit Bunches (EFB) - as fuel
and fertiliser.
- Assignment of 1,398 ha of HCV
area in 54,769 hectares of
RSPO-certified estates.
Occupational Health and Safety
(See page 49)
Workplace safety and zero
accidents and fatalities.
ERM risk: health and safety
Implementation of SMK3, including
accidents and fatalities monitoring
and evaluation system in all our
operations. Disclosure in future
reports.
Smallholders
(See page 30)
Smallholders, including social
conflict resolution.
ERM risk: social conflict
Developing programmes
for smallholders, including
RSPO certification for plasma
smallholders.
Land rights (See page 28) Social conflict resolution.
ERM risk: compliance permits,
licenses, land ownership and
social conflict
Implementation of grievance
mechanism.
Governance and transparency
(See page 23)
Clear business direction and
disclosure on RSPO website.
Whistle-blowing mechanism
in place. Restructuring the
sustainability teams and reviewing
policies for public disclosure on
the RSPO website.
Yield maximisation
(See page 14)
Agricultural best practices. Per 30 hectares block nutrition
management and owner of two out
of the 10 seed breeding facilities in
Indonesia.
Human rights
(See page 25 and 46)
Protection of human rights. Employee policy covers no child
labour and supports diversity in the
