Sustainability Strategy
The Company’s sustainability strategy is built on a commitment to compliance with the highest laws, regulations and sustainability standards in the palm oil industry.
Environmental Stewardship
EHP is committed to managing the environment and strives to always implement business practices that minimize our impact on the environment by calculating our water consumption, energy consumption, and emissions generated as well as managing effluents, waste recycled and biodiversity. This commitment is realized by establishing a Sustainability Policy that is being reviewed on a regular basis, thoroughly covering our operational activities and all third party suppliers, as well as efforts to minimize the use of chemicals, prohibit the use of paraquat, prohibit pesticides class 1A and 1B according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and chemicals listed in the Stockholm Convention and the Rotterdam Convention, except in exceptional circumstances which may occur in cases where their use has been validated by a due diligence process or when authorized by government authorities during an outbreak.
Biodiversity
We consider biodiversity amongst our priorities because many EHP plantations are located near natural and protected forests which are natural habitats for endangered, rare and threatened species where these areas are considered to have High Conservation Value (HCV).

Traceability
The supply chain in the palm oil industry is a complex chain as it includes suppliers that range from large-scale plantations such as EHP plantations to local smallholders. At the upstream of the supply chain, Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) are harvested and then taken to a palm oil mill to be processed into Crude Palm Oil (CPO) before going through a refining and further processing.

Certifications
To assure that the economic, environmental, social and governance aspects across all operational units comply with sustainability standards, PT Eagle High Plantations Tbk (EHP) is committed to participating in the RSPO and ISPO sustainability schemes.
Fire Prevention and Management
Forest fires are an issue that needs to be prioritized because apart from causing negative impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity, they also put the health and socio-economic conditions of the surrounding communities at risk.
As a member of the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI), the Company is committed to implementing palm oil best practices to operate without burning.
Grievance Mechanism
EHP is committed in implementing transparency in our business activities which is also written in the Company’s Sustainability Policy. Therefore, EHP has set up a grievance mechanism that aims to ensure that every complaint, both internal and external, is treated in accordance with Company regulations and prevailing laws and as a guideline in implementing communication with relevant stakeholders.
