Apical Group Expresses Its Commitment to Build the Economy with the Government of East Kalimantan Province

Di Apical Group, komitmen kami terhadap keberlanjutan berasal dari tingkat pimpinan tertinggi. Presiden Apical didukung oleh Direktur Keberlanjutan dan berbagai pimpinan unit bisnis untuk memastikan bahwa keberlanjutan terintegrasi dalam unit bisnis dan fungsional, serta tertanam dalam nilai dan inisiatif utama perusahaan.

Topik keberlanjutan dibahas dalam rapat Dewan Direksi yang diadakan setiap kuartal. Kami juga memiliki tim Keberlanjutan khusus yang berbasis di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, serta di Pekanbaru, Dumai, Medan, Jakarta, dan Balikpapan di Indonesia. Tim Keberlanjutan bertugas untuk melaksanakan dan memantau komitmen kami melalui keterlibatan dan kolaborasi konstruktif dengan para pemangku kepentingan.

Selain itu, terdapat departemen Sosial, Keamanan, dan Perizinan (SSL) di setiap kilang yang kami miliki, yang menangani urusan sosial dan perizinan sesuai dengan peraturan nasional serta Kebijakan Keberlanjutan Apical. Tim ini juga mengawasi program Tanggung Jawab Sosial Perusahaan (CSR) untuk mendukung peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat setempat.

Mewujudkan tujuan keberlanjutan memerlukan lebih dari sekadar kolaborasi dengan para pemangku kepentingan utama kami. Kolaborasi lintas industri dan dengan perusahaan sejenis juga sangat penting, oleh karena itu kami terus mencari dan berpartisipasi dalam kemitraan baru, keanggotaan industri yang relevan, serta skema sertifikasi.

Kami berpartisipasi dalam keanggotaan industri dan skema sertifikasi seperti Tropical Forest Alliance 2020, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) — termasuk RSPO P&C Review Taskforce dan RSPO Indonesia National Interpretation Working Group, International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), serta Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO).

At Apical Group, our commitment to sustainability stems right from the top. Apical’s President is supported by the Director of Sustainability and various business heads, to ensure sustainability is integrated within business and functional units, and embedded in the company’s core values and initiatives.

Sustainability topics are discussed at Board meetings held quarterly. We also have dedicated Sustainability teams based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Pekanbaru, Dumai, Medan, Jakarta and Balikpapan in Indonesia. The Sustainability teams are tasked with implementing and monitoring our commitments through constructive stakeholder engagement and collaboration.

In addition, there is also a dedicated Social, Security and Licensing (SSL) department in each refinery we own, to handle social and licensing matters in compliance with national regulations as well as the Apical Sustainability Policy. The team also oversees Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes to support better livelihoods in local communities.

Achieving sustainability goals requires more than just collaboration with our key stakeholders. Collaboration across industries and peer companies are also crucial and hence, we constantly look for and participate in new partnerships, relevant industry membership and certification schemes.

We participate in industry membership and certification schemes such as the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), including the RSPO P&C Review Taskforce and the RSPO Indonesia National Interpretation Working Group, the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), and the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO).
