Presiden Apical didukung oleh Direktur Keberlanjutan bersama seluruh kepala bisnis, memastikan keberlanjutan terintegrasi dalam unit bisnis dan fungsional, dan tertanam dalam nilai dan inisiatif inti perusahaan.</p> <p>Topik keberlanjutan dibahas pada rapat dewan yang diadakan setiap tiga bulan. Kami juga memiliki tim keberlanjutan yang berdedikasi berbasis di Kuala Lumpur; Malaysia, dan Indonesia; Pekanbaru, Dumai, Medan, Jakarta dan Balikpapan. Tim Keberlanjutan ditugaskan untuk menerapkan dan memantau komitmen kami melalui keterlibatan dan kolaborasi pemangku kepentingan yang konstruktif.</p> <p>Selain itu, kami didukung penuh oleh departemen Sosial, Keamanan, dan Perizinan (SSL) khusus di setiap unit bisnis yang kami miliki, untuk menangani masalah sosial dan perizinan sesuai dengan peraturan nasional serta kebijakan keberlanjutan Apical. Tim juga mengawasi program Tanggung Jawab Sosial Perusahaan (CSR) untuk mendukung penghidupan yang lebih baik di masyarakat setempat.</p> <p>Mencapai tujuan keberlanjutan membutuhkan lebih dari sekadar kolaborasi dengan pemangku kepentingan utama kami. Kolaborasi lintas industri dan perusahaan sejenis juga penting dan karenanya, kami terus mencari dan berpartisipasi dalam kemitraan baru, keanggotaan industri yang relevan, dan skema sertifikasi.</p> <p>Kami berpartisipasi dalam skema keanggotaan dan sertifikasi industri seperti Tropical Forest Alliance 2020, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), termasuk P&amp;C Review Taskforce RSPO dan National Interpretation Working Group RSPO Indonesia, International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), dan Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO).</p> <h3>Dato' Yeo How</h3> <p>PRESIDEN APICAL GROUP</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="hustle-popup-id-5" class="hustle-ui hustle-popup hustle-palette--gray_slate hustle_module_id_5 module_id_5 " data-id="5" data-render-id="0" data-tracking="disabled" role="dialog" aria-modal="true" data-intro="no_animation" data-outro="no_animation" data-overlay-close="1" data-close-delay="false" style="opacity: 0;" ><div data-rocket-location-hash="daa4fecf6c036af1c1ac8233955973b7" class="hustle-popup-mask hustle-optin-mask" aria-hidden="true"></div><div data-rocket-location-hash="3f2f10297d7bc25e4e24e7f21f137048" class="hustle-popup-content"><div data-rocket-location-hash="db0bf9c28a1016e7b4d1784ce7ffe8bc" class="hustle-info hustle-info--compact"><div class="hustle-main-wrapper"><div class="hustle-layout"><button class="hustle-button-icon hustle-button-close has-background"> <span class="hustle-icon-close" aria-hidden="true"></span> <span class="hustle-screen-reader">Close this module</span> </button><div class="hustle-content"><div class="hustle-content-wrap"><div class="hustle-group-content"><p>At Apical Group, our commitment to sustainability stems right from the top. Apical’s President is supported by the Director of Sustainability and various business heads, to ensure sustainability is integrated within business and functional units, and embedded in the company’s core values and initiatives.</p> <p>Sustainability topics are discussed at Board meetings held quarterly. We also have dedicated Sustainability teams based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Pekanbaru, Dumai, Medan, Jakarta and Balikpapan in Indonesia. The Sustainability teams are tasked with implementing and monitoring our commitments through constructive stakeholder engagement and collaboration.</p> <p>In addition, there is also a dedicated Social, Security and Licensing (SSL) department in each refinery we own, to handle social and licensing matters in compliance with national regulations as well as the Apical Sustainability Policy. The team also oversees Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes to support better livelihoods in local communities.</p> <p>Achieving sustainability goals requires more than just collaboration with our key stakeholders. Collaboration across industries and peer companies are also crucial and hence, we constantly look for and participate in new partnerships, relevant industry membership and certification schemes.</p> <p>We participate in industry membership and certification schemes such as the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), including the RSPO P&C Review Taskforce and the RSPO Indonesia National Interpretation Working Group, the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), and the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO).</p> <h3>Dato' Yeo How</h3> <p>APICAL GROUP PRESIDENT</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><link rel='stylesheet' id='mailpoet_public-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/plugins/mailpoet/assets/dist/css/mailpoet-public.b1f0906e.css?ver=5d27f0ee184b6d2d6854a4e925181fa7' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link rel='stylesheet' id='hustle_icons-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/plugins/hustle/assets/hustle-ui/css/hustle-icons.min.css?ver=7.8.5' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link rel='stylesheet' id='hustle_global-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/plugins/hustle/assets/hustle-ui/css/hustle-global.min.css?ver=7.8.5' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link rel='stylesheet' id='hustle_info-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/plugins/hustle/assets/hustle-ui/css/hustle-info.min.css?ver=7.8.5' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link rel='stylesheet' id='hustle_popup-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/plugins/hustle/assets/hustle-ui/css/hustle-popup.min.css?ver=7.8.5' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link data-pagespeed-no-defer data-nowprocket data-wpacu-skip data-no-optimize data-noptimize rel='stylesheet' id='main-styles-non-critical-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/themes/apical/css/build/style-non-critical.css?ver=17.0.3' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link data-pagespeed-no-defer data-nowprocket data-wpacu-skip data-no-optimize data-noptimize rel='stylesheet' id='fancyBox-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/themes/apical/css/build/plugins/jquery.fancybox.css?ver=3.3.1' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link data-pagespeed-no-defer data-nowprocket data-wpacu-skip data-no-optimize data-noptimize rel='stylesheet' id='nectar-ocm-core-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/themes/apical/css/build/off-canvas/core.css?ver=17.0.3' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link data-pagespeed-no-defer data-nowprocket data-wpacu-skip data-no-optimize data-noptimize rel='stylesheet' id='nectar-ocm-slide-out-right-material-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/themes/apical/css/build/off-canvas/slide-out-right-material.css?ver=17.0.3' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link data-pagespeed-no-defer data-nowprocket data-wpacu-skip data-no-optimize data-noptimize rel='stylesheet' id='nectar-ocm-slide-out-right-hover-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/themes/apical/css/build/off-canvas/slide-out-right-hover.css?ver=17.0.3' type='text/css' media='all' /> <link rel='stylesheet' id='rs-plugin-settings-css' href='https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/revslider/public/assets/css/rs6.css?ver=6.5.8' type='text/css' media='all' /> <style id='rs-plugin-settings-inline-css' type='text/css'> #rs-demo-id {} </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/revslider/public/assets/js/rbtools.min.js?ver=6.5.8" defer async id="tp-tools-js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/revslider/public/assets/js/rs6.min.js?ver=6.5.8" defer async id="revmin-js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.apicalgroup.com/wp-content/plugins/image-map-pro-wordpress/js/image-map-pro.min.js?ver=5.3.2" id="image-map-pro-dist-js-js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" id="salient-social-js-extra"> /* <![CDATA[ */ var nectarLove = {"ajaxurl":"https:\/\/www.apicalgroup.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php","postID":"36379","rooturl":"https:\/\/www.apicalgroup.com","loveNonce":"63c80fb4cf"};
