As part of Apical efforts to instill sustainability core values and to enhance our support to suppliers and smallholders in Indonesia, we have translated the Apical Sustainability Policy to Bahasa Indonesia.
As a responsible business committed to building a traceable and transparent palm oil supply chain, Apical — one of the largest exporters of palm oil in Indonesia — developed a Shared Value Programme to equip its Riau-based suppliers with the knowledge and good practices to help them gain a competitive edge in meeting global requirements in sustainable palm oil through policy deployment, supply chain mapping, and smallholder engagement.
