ANJ is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO). All of our palm producing plantations mentioned above are RSPO and ISPO certified.

We are also planting area of our landbank in South Sumatra:

  • South Sumatra Landbank

This landbank covers 12,800 hectares in Empat Lawang, South Sumatra and is operated by our subsidiary PT Galempa Sejahtera Bersama (GSB). We commenced planting parts of the landbank in 2013.

Our development plantations are managed in compliance with RSPO and ISPO standards and we will apply for RSPO and ISPO certifications when they begin operating commercially.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a total landbank of more than 150,000 hectares. At that time, approximately onethird of this area or 53,698 hectares, was planted. By the end of 2022 a total of 4,289 hectares of the planted area was allocated to community smallholders under the Indonesian government’s Plasma Program.

Mature oil palms cover 42,237 hectares or 85.5%, of the planted area, while 7,172 hectares or 14.5%, comprises immature oil palms. The average age of our nucleus oil palms across all the Group's plantations, as of December 31, 2022, was 12.9 years.

The remainder of our landbank is either not plantable due to unsuitable topography or is used for fulfilling various voluntary environmental and social commitments, including biodiversity conservation, riverine buffers and the preservation of historical and/or culturally significant sites. The remaining portion of our landbank is designated for infrastructure, such as roads and housing and amenities for our employees.

As stated in our Sustainability Policy, ANJ has made a commitment to maintain areas of forest with High Conservation Value (HCV) and/or High Carbon Stock (HCS) and to refrain from developing peat or wetlands.
