Sustainable Palm Oil through Certifications
Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)
Apical became an RSPO member under the category of palm oil processor and trader on 11 August 2011. Our refineries in Indonesia have obtained RSPO Supply Chain Certification since 2012. As an RSPO certified company and one committed to transparency in our business operations, we have been reporting our sustainability efforts through the RSPO Annual Communications of Progress (ACOP) since 2014. As of March 2023, all of our existing processing facilities have been certified.

Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO)
We support the ISPO launched by the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture in 2011 to create a single national standard for sustainable practices in the palm oil sector. The scheme aims to drive the competitiveness of Indonesian palm oil in the international market and help Indonesia meet its commitment to ensure legal compliance as well as address other social and environmental issues. The checklist used during our Priority Supplier Engagement Programme (PSEP) is based on the ISPO Standard for mills.
