Musirawas replied by formal letter, which stated that:
(i) PT Sumur Pandanwangi is a company that is established by law and is in legal compliance with Indonesia’s Plantation laws.

(ii) It has obtained legal authority from the government on the plantings in the peat area and is in compliance with government regulations on Protection and Management of Peat Ecosystems.

(iii) PT Sumur Pandanwangi has yet to produce any FFB as it was only recently planted. They operate within the sustainability rules and practices as demonstrated by the ISPO certification for two concessions. Hence, their operations are fully compliant with the law.
