Musim Mas believes that a holistic and integrated approach by the whole company has to be taken to achieve sustainability. As the first Indonesian member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), Musim Mas is committed to support and use the RSPO Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Palm Oil Production as the basis of managing the enterprise sustainably.

While Musim Mas has already put in place many sound practices in the cultivation and production of palm oil that are consistent with the principles of sustainable agriculture and production, the top management of Musim Mas decided that a more concerted and coordinated effort needs to be taken throughout the Group to ensure that all operations are fully compliant with the RSPO Principles and Criteria. Towards this goal, the President Director launched the Musim Mas initiative on management for sustainability in February, 2007.

Management of Sustainability at Musim Mas involves the deployment of a group policy on sustainability, through:

• A Management system based on RSPO P&C,
• A delicated management structure and
• A phased implementation of sustainability will be rollout through out the enterprise. The first company is expeted to be fully compliant to the RSPO P&C in early 2008 and the whole implementation is expected to be completed by end of 2010.
