Ecosystem management

Indonesia is one of the world’s most important biodiversity hotspots, playing a crucial role in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. Its tropical forest ecosystems are vital not only for timber production but also for ecosystem services, including freshwater resources, carbon sequestration and storage, and habitats for diverse wildlife.

Ecosystem Management

Being a business that utilizes natural resources, we adhere to sustainability principles by implementing an integrated approach that balances business development with responsible environmental management. Our commitment to sustainable development is embedded in our Corporate Values and Code of Ethics. Throughout our production process—transforming raw materials into finished products—we uphold a fundamental principle:

“Meeting present needs without compromising the future.”

As a trusted wood processing company, we are dedicated to our mission and values, ensuring long-term sustainability for our business, society, and the environment.

We regularly monitor our operational areas to reduce risks such as fires, illegal poaching, and pests and diseases.

Protecting Forest Ecosystem’s Biodiversity

We recognize the significance of biodiversity within our concession areas and are committed to minimizing environmental impact while protecting local communities, flora, and fauna. As part of this commitment, we have conducted extensive studies, including mapping High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) areas. HCV represents a biological, ecological, social value of great significance or critical importance. While HCS approach protect the high concentrations of carbon contained in the forest soils and vegetations.
To date, we have identified over 10,700 hectares of HCV and HCS areas within our concession in North Maluku, where we conduct regular monitoring to avoid potential risks including fire hotspots and illegal poaching. Additionally, through our collaboration with smallholder farmers (Hutan Tanaman Rakyat), we indirectly oversee the management of 186 hectares of conservation areas in Sumatra and East Java. Furthermore, we have issued commitments to biodiversity conservation, including:

Banning wild animal hunting & trading

No use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or invasive alien species

Pest & disease control measures in accordance with Rotterdam Convention

Forests are home to 80% of terrestrial biodiversity. We share our concession areas with rich biodiversity, where endemic flora and fauna thrive as an integral part of the ecosystem. At the same time, forests provide timber, which is one of the most affordable renewable materials available to humankind. While we strive to maximize the potential of timber harvesting, we do not compromise on biodiversity protection. We implement Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) as part of our commitment to national and international sustainability standards, ensuring that we minimize our impact on wildlife habitats. Through HCV studies, we have identified endemic flora and fauna within our concessions, referencing their conservation status based on the IUCN Red List.

Fire Prevention

In compliance with the government regulations on forest protection management outlined in Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. P.32/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/3/2016 regarding Forest and Land Fire Control, the Company has established a robust framework for forest protection.

This framework includes activities aimed at minimizing the potential for forest and land fires through early detection systems, routine patrols, effective post-fire management, and training programs for employees and local communities within the concession area. Additionally, our commitment involves proactive measures, such as conducting inspections of water points to ensure availability during fire incidents.

Fire truck on standby for regular monitoring and rapid response to fire incidents.

Automatic Weather Station (AWS) installed to support fire danger prediction and early warning systems.
