industrialization and it is expected to reduce to less than 1,000 ha in 2012. The process of acquiring still in progress until now.
2.3.3 Have there been any changes since the last audit? Are they justified?
The plan was prepared in 2008 and included 17 estates and 5 mills which were not included in the main RSPO audit at that time. Subsequently 6 of these estates and one mill have had their ownership transferred to the parent company Wilmar International. Due to the changes in the rules for partial certification introduced in late 2011, Suburmas Mill and its supply base comprising 2,214 ha known as Suburmas Estate must be included in the time bound plan.

Any area required to maintain or enhance HCVs in accordance with RSPO criterion 7.3.
Suburmas estate was planted between 1995 and 2000.
2.4.3 Any new plantings since January 1st
2010 must comply with the RSPO New Plantings Procedure.

accordance with RSPO criteria 6.4, 7.5 and 7.6.
2.4.5 Any Labor disputes are being resolved through a mutually agreed process, in accordance with RSPO criterion 6.3.
No labor disputes noted.
2.4.6 Any Legal non-compliance is being resolved in accordance with the legal requirements, with reference to RSPO criteria 2.1 and 2.2.
No non-compliance noted.
2.5 Summary of the findings for Partial Certification
The audit team assessed compliance with the above requirements during this audit. Failure to address any non-compliance identified may lead to certification suspension.
It is noted that the transfer of mills and estates to the parent company was done for logistical reasons only and that progress to RSPO certification is almost complete. Suburmas Mill and Estate is the only remaining un-certified property in PPBOP and this was planted from 1995 to 2000. PPBOP do not have more than 51% of ownership in the mill and so it was not included in the original time-bound plan. The recent changes in the rules for partial certification now require the mill and estate to be certified and the date of 2013 is considered both challenging and realistic as the estate is progressively being acquired by the Sarawak State Government for industrialization. If the government continue to purchase the estate at the current rate, the property may cease to exist or will become commercially unviable. The process of acquiring still in progress until now. It is further noted that all the remaining PPBOP plantations have been awarded RSPO certification.
