Protecting and Conserving Peatlands
The Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Peatland Management are applied as defined in the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil Principle & Criteria (RSPO P&C) documents and referred to RSPO manual on BMP for Existing Oil Palm Cultivation on Peat. Where areas are identified as unsuitable for oil palm replanting, plans are developed for the appropriate management, such as rehabilitation, proper water management and fire prevention.
Guided by IOI's Sustainability Policy, we are committed to no new planting on peatland regardless of its depth. Our existing plantations also operate under the guidance of IOI's Peatland Protection & Management Guidelines.
