What are your interim milestones towards achieving RSPO certification commitment (year and progressive CSPO%) - please state annual targets/strategies
We have planned to certify 24 mills in 2013, as reported in ACOP 2012. However, we expect to achieve only 23 mills as resources have been diverted to support other certifications like ISPO, which is mandatory for Indonesian growers.
By 2015, we would certify 41 mills instead of the 42 mills we have stated earlier. This is because we have decided not to go ahead with the construction of one of the planned mills due to commercial reasons.
The mills that are certified from 2014 onwards would be processing FFB from estates of varying maturities
