Sustainability Certification (ISPO and SVLK)

Sustainability Certification (ISPO and SVLK) Elucidation

Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) is a business system in the field of oil palm plantations that is economically viable, socially viable, and environmentally friendly based on Presidential Regulation Number 44 of 2020 concerning the Indonesian Sustainable Oil Palm Plantation Certification System and Minister of Agriculture Regulation Number 38 of 2020 concerning Implementation of Certification for Indonesian Sustainable Oil Palm Plantation.

The Timber Legality Verification System, or SVLK, is a certification that ensures that wood products and raw materials come from sources and are managed according to legal aspects. This certification came into force in June 2009 when the Government of the Republic of Indonesia issued the Minister of Forestry Regulation No. P.38/Menhut-II/2009.

These two certifications are enforced to provide quality natural resources for national and international markets.
