“As a mid-sized palm oil company, we cannot drive major industry change alone. However, we are willing to take the lead where we are strategically positioned to make a positive difference. With our biodiversity projects in Kalimantan, we have been able to leverage our land holdings and our good relations with plantation companies, government bodies and civil society partners to achieve something truly unique.”
