Rainforest Action Network (RAN)’s report titled “Perilous – Korindo, Land Grabbing & Banks” detailed local communities and NGO’s complaints about Korindo’s logging and oil palm operations in North Maluku Province, though its subsidiary Gelora Mandiri Membangun (GMM). Analysis of the broader Korindo Group also raises numerous red flags regarding its corporate governance standards.

We have no business relationship with Korindo Group as our last purchase date was in end 2016.
October 2022 Korindo group announces the separation of PT Gelora Mandiri Membangun and PT Papua Agro Lestari from Korindo Group’s management. Both companies will be managed independently as Tunas Sawa Erma (TSE) Group.
November 2022 The discussion between Musim Mas and TSE group explored efforts that have been carried out by TSE Group to improve its sustainability practices, address grievance cases related to TSE Group, and the possibility of TSE Group to undergo Musim Mas’ re-entry process.

Based on the discussions, the following are the key steps taken by TSE Group:

  1. TSE Group declared a SWO/Moratorium for new clearing on 10 November 2016 until the HCV and HCS studies are complete.
  2. On 12 November 2021, TSE Group published its updated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments incorporating commitments of moratorium, recovery plan and NDPE Policy.

TSE Group appointed Yayasan Hylobates Awara (Yahywa) as an independent institution to conduct a liability assessment in its concession in South Papua Province and North Maluku Province.
May 2023 As part of its transparency commitment, TSE Group is disclosing legacy cases—those originating before its separation from Korindo—by coordinating their publication through the Korindo Grievance Page.

August 2023 PT GMM has completed its HCV-HCS integrated assessment and obtained a ‘Satisfactory’ status from HCVN.
October 2024 The communication process with TSE Group is ongoing. The milestones of our engagement with TSE Group are as follow:

  1. Yayasan Hylobates Awara (Yahywa) has completed the liability assessment in TSE Group concessions in South Papua Province and North Maluku Province. The full report can be accessed here.

  3. TSE Group is committed to providing Musim Mas with regular updates on the implementation of the Recovery Plan or whenever notable developments arise.

Musim Mas continues to monitor the progress.
March 2025 All TSE Group subsidiaries have completed all HCV-HCS integrated assessment and attained a ‘Satisfactory’ status.
