materiality, commitments
and policy
As an agricultural group, IndoAgri is mindful of its
environmental footprint. We are committed to sustainable
farming practices that minimise degradation of the
environment. We do this through the management of
our oil palm plantations that is based on the principles
and criteria of RSPO and ISPO.
Following the RSPO certification efforts, our Standard
Operating Procedures were reviewed and new policies
were developed to meet the stringent guidelines. These
sustainable practices, together with our R&D investments
to improve yield and agronomical practices, have enabled
us to reduce our environmental footprint year-on-year.
identification of materiality
issues
While RSPO has provided a framework for sustainable
operation, we want to ensure that all our stakeholders’
concerns are addressed at the same time. Stakeholder
issues are assessed based on the principles of AA1000
Accountability Principles (2008): stakeholder inclusivity,
materiality and responsiveness. A ”materiality matrix”
is developed to map the key issues of mutual concern
to both external and internal stakeholders.
We conducted a materiality workshop in the Jakarta
headquarters involving members of the Board, and a
workshop in Pekanbaru with representatives from PT
SIMP. At the materiality workshop, we analysed and
prioritised global and local issues through peer reviews,
reviewed questionnaires from international NGOs and
assessed the social impact of our operations locally.
Both workshops were facilitated by an independent
sustainability expert. The Jakarta workshop was attended
by three executive directors, namely Mark Wakeford,
Moleonoto Tjang, and Suaimi Suriady, and representatives
from the parent company, ISM.
