Siak Pelalawan Landscape Programme (SPLP)
This private sector-driven initiative aims to achieve sustainable palm oil production in Siak and Pelalawan districts in Riau, Indonesia. Home to more than 200 villages, the districts spread over 2 million hectares. These major palm oil-producing districts have significant numbers of independent smallholders.
SPLP supports and builds on existing government led initiatives, in particular the Green Siak District Roadmap and the District Action Plan for Sustainable Palm Oil in Pelalawan.
Companies working together
SPLP brings together a coalition of eight companies working together to halt and reverse historical rates of deforestation, degradation of forests and peatland, while mitigating risk from fire and agricultural expansion.
There are many land and labour-related issues – with many of the district’s mills lacking engagement or awareness relating to NDPE (no deforestation, no planting on peat, no exploitation) production.
Nature and people positive palm oil production
Engaging with palm oil mills
Coalition companies work extensively with their suppliers to implement supply chain traceability and to map the progress of their supply base towards nature and people positive palm oil production.
This includes mapping mills’ exposure to environmental and social risks.
Members and supporters
Established in 2018, the coalition is formed of member companies and supporter companies.
Coalition Members: Cargill, L’Oréal, Musim Mas, Neste, PepsiCo, and Unilever
Coalition supporters: Danone and Sinar Mas
SPLP is facilitated by the Daemeter-Proforest Partnership
SPLP is supported by Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO)
