As per our Group Sustainability Policy, the Group does not develop on any peat land regardless of depth.
There has not been any planting on our peat landbank since June 2019.
Being a sensitive ecosystem, our operations in existing peat areas are governed strictly by our SOP on peat management. The guidance is designed by taking into account existing regulations on peat management by Indonesian authorities, which include:
1.Peraturan Menteri Pertanian No. 14/ Pementaa/ PL.110/2/2009, tentang Pedoman Pemanfaatan Lahan Gambut Untuk Budidaya Kelapa Sawit.
2.Instruksi Presiden Republik Indonesia No.10 tahun 2011 tentang Penundaan Pemberian Izin Baru dan Penyempurnaan Tata Kelola Hutan Alm Primer dan Lahan Gambut.
3.Instruksi Presiden Republik Indonesia No.6 tahun 2013 tentang Penundaan Pemberian Izin Baru dan Penyempurnaan Tata Kelola Hutan Alm Primer dan Lahan Gambut.
4.Pementan No. 26/OT/140/2/2007 tentang budidaya perkebunan.

Water Level Management
Monitoring Subsidence
The risks of fire and flooding are given major consideration in peat areas. The issue of subsidence is also given a major priority, with measurements taken every 6 months. The drainage system comprising of main, collection, subsidiary and outlet drains are carefully designed for optimal water and soil conservation.
