Slide 6: Multi-stakeholder collaboration
Multi-stakeholder collaboration Golden Agri-Resources believes that multi- stakeholder collaboration is the only way to achieving solutions for sustainable palm oil production. Chancing Common your arm ground Open and Taking transparent the lead 3
Slide 7: GAR Forest Conservation Policy
GAR Forest Conservation Policy • Builds on GAR’s pre-existing commitments. • GAR’s FCP in collaboration with The Forest Trust (TFT) to ensure that GAR has a no deforestation footprint. Various stakeholders including Greenpeace have provided inputs. • FCP focuses on No development on Comply all relev
Slide 8: Holistic commitments
Holistic commitments • Holistic approach: Implemented Social and Community Engagement Policy (SCEP) and Yield Improvement Policy (YIP) in collaboration with TFT, Greenpeace and other stakeholders. • The SCEP process includes consultations with the Government of Indonesia and local stakeholders like
Slide 9: GAR SCEP
GAR SCEP • Free, Prior and Informed Consent of indigenous people and local communities • Responsible handling of complaints • Responsible resolution of conflicts • Open and constructive engagement with local, national and international stakeholders • Empowering community development programmes • Res
Slide 10: GAR Yield Improvement Policy
GAR Yield Improvement Policy • Produce more palm oil from less land. • Reduce the impact on the environment. • Higher yields - Improve the livelihoods of smallholders - Reduce the pressure on new land opening • Achieve by 2015, a 12% increase in average CPO yield from the 2010 level 2010 (Actual) 20
Slide 11: GAR YIP: Leveraging on best practices
GAR YIP: Leveraging on best practices • Planting Material: – high-yielding Dami Mas seeds in our new plantings • Agronomical Practices: – Soil Fertility and Management – Pesticide Use and Natural Pest Control – Use of Chemical Fertilisers and Pesticides: collaborate with stakeholders to research and

Slide 13: Summary of HCS forest study findings
Summary of HCS forest study findings The findings of HCS forest study indicate that vegetation cover can be used to: • Estimate the level of carbon stocks. • Stratify into different classes to broadly represent different carbon stocks. They also indicate that: • This is a practical and robust method
Slide 14: Summary of HCS forest study findings
Summary of HCS forest study findings Six strata can be identified: • HK3 – Remnant forest or advanced secondary forest close to primary condition; • HK2 – Remnant forest but more disturbed than High Density Forest; • HK1 – Appears to be remnant forest but highly disturbed and recovering (may contain

Slide 18: Socialisation
Socialisation • Palm oil development activities often occur on areas occupied by local communities. • Must engage these communities before any development can take place through FPIC process and compensation through an open and transparent process. • As our HCS forest study involved areas that are n

Slide 20: Average carbon stock
Average carbon stock • Indicate that carbon stock declines correspondingly to a decline in vegetation canopy density. • Support the use of vegetation canopy cover to estimate the average carbon stock and therefore as a useful way to define and map HCS. In addition, results indicate: • Similarities i
Slide 21: Weighted average carbon stock
Weighted average carbon stock By plotting the weighted average carbon stock of the various strata, we noticed that some of the strata’s carbon values overlap. Weighted average carbon stock of the various strata 18

Slide 31: Recommendations for future research
Recommendations for future research • To conduct more research on the stratification methodology if it is to be used in other parts of Indonesia. • To update the methodology to improve the accuracy and reliability of the outcomes; example, allometric equations that include species- specific wood den
Slide 32: Conclusion: HCS Findings
Conclusion 1. Facilitate GAR’s commitment HCS Findings to ensure no deforestation footprint. 3. Further testing and fieldwork 2. Indicate a practical and would be required for the robust method to identify HCS methodology to be used as a in GAR’s concessions in reliable predictive tool for HCS Kalim
