WWF Indonesia is actively promoting sustainable production of palm oil through various programs and projects in several conservation priority landscapes across Indonesia. The main goals is actually to taking deforestation out of palm oil supply chains.\nHaving this target WWF Indonesia works to create innovation and combined approach of\nlandscape and jurisdiction by working with various stakeholders along the supply chains.\nWWF Indonesia constantly working with independent smallholder in order to increase their\ncapacity and awareness of sustainable oil palm practices and at the end can be complied\nwith RSPO Principles and Criteria. \nSeries of training aims to developed farmers capacities consecutively conducted within the reporting period. In line with this, to get bigger buy in from the local authorities, WWF Indonesia also provide training for the local extension agents.

At the same time, WWF Indonesia works closely with Sintang district local government in helping them to shape sustainable development strategy, especially to achieve RSPO certification. Meanwhile in Kapuas Hulu and Melawi, WWF Indonesia conduct intervention that targeted the spatial planning policy and capacity building for independent smallholders towards ISPO and RSPO readiness. \nRegarding Sustainable palm oil consumption, the main idea is to increase RSPO / CSPO uptake in Indonesia domestic market. There are two main initiatives being conducted in this regards. The first initiative is to approach retails,brand owners as well as food services chains to move forward and commit to source CSPO for Indonesia market. At the moment WWF Indonesia has been discussed with several retails on how to improve their procurement policy and there is one retailer that already committed to source sustainable palm oil for its home-brand cooking oil. \nWWF Indonesia role on this initiative is to connect retails with the RSPO certified suppliers. Others main WWF Indonesia approach in the first initiative is developing to implement of\ntraceability pilot project to prevent deforestation with involving main buyers in global with its\nsupply chain on the landscape. The main aim this project is to protect remain forest in\nNational Park Tesso Nilo by closing access to mills with currently by FFB of unknown\nprovenance.

By working with local communities, governments, businesses, and other NGOs, we are defining new ways of working that will make a difference at a scale that matters to help redefine humanity‚Äôs relationship with the planet. We have a presence in over 100 countries across the world, and our efforts have evolved from localized efforts in favour of a single species and individual habitats to an ambitious strategy to preserve biodiversity and achieve sustainable development across the planet. \n\nOur mission is to stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature, by: \n\n1) conserving the world's biological diversity \n2) ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable \n3) promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.\n","WWF continues to play an active role in a number of RSPO working groups. WWF International is strongly committed to the RSPO as a vehicle to help transform the market for palm oil to one that is responsible. WWF is a founding member of the RSPO and currently sits on the RSPO Board of Governors. During the reporting period, WWF has been active within several working groups and task forces, supporting efforts to strengthen the RSPO systems and contribute to its credibility. \n\nWWF continually urges all companies in the palm oil value chain to be actively involved in producing, trading, procuring or investing in certified sustainable palm oil. WWF communicates publicly that companies should actively engage in a number of strategies to mitigate the impacts of irresponsible palm oil practices, including supporting the RSPO. Subsequently, WWF asks companies not to boycott palm oil, but rather to be part of the solution and drive change on the ground by supporting palm oil producers and smallholders to utilize responsible production practices. \n\nIn order to ensure that no companies take shelter under the RSPO without real action, WWF has worked to drive more transparency and consistency in RSPO reporting. WWF encourages producers to pursue certification and buyers to develop ambitious time-bound targets for CSPO uptake and regularly report progress towards these targets. \nBeyond its participation in RSPO, WWF works across the palm oil supply chain to promote sustainable palm oil to producers, traders, buyers, investors, financiers, consumers and other NGOs. WWF also lobbies governments in both producing and consuming regions to introduce policies that support the sustainable production and use of palm oil. WWF employs a broad range of strategies to enable its success, including one-on-one engagement with companies, engagement with business platforms, promotion of better management practices and sustainable land use planning, collaboration with producer and buyer country governments, and development and promotion of investment screens.\n\nAmong others, WWF undertook the following activities in 2019: \n\nWWF Singapore represented and continues to represent SASPO (Support Asia for Sustainable Palm Oil) as its Secretariat, driving the alliance's strategy and membership development. SASPO's members are united in their belief that increasing the market demand for certified sustainable palm oil is necessary to increase its production. \n\nWWF China supported and continues to support the China Sustainable Palm Oil Alliance (CSPOA), a multi-stakeholder group that is gaining momentum as a platform to promote environmental and social standards for palm oil trade and production, as an important first step for Asia-wide efforts to promote sustainable palm oil.\t\n\nWWF India along with the other founding members have been actively involved in the outreach and promotion of the India Sustainable Palm Oil Coalition (I-SPOC), through corporate engagement and participation in key industry events. Currently, there are 20 members in the coalition and the second members meeting was held in November 2019. \n \nWWF-India conducted a study to assess the environmental impacts of oil palm expansion in the North-East geographical region, particularly in Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh. Subsequently, a policy brief with sustainable development recommendations was developed for domestic oil palm production in India.\n \nIn Central America, WWF continued to assist the Honduran palm oil sector to adopt the RSPO standard. In 2019, the work focused on assisting companies in developing compensation and remediation concept notes and action plans. Moreover, in collaboration with smallholder groups, WWF developed a field-school program to promote the RSPO principles and criteria and the implementation of best management practices.\n \nIn Africa, WWF has continued its regional facilitation role for the TFA 2020 Africa Palm Oil Initiative. This includes developing national principles and action plans aimed at deforestation free palm production. The RSPO standard is mentioned as a priority action in most of the national action plans created under the program. WWF Gabon advocated the Gabon government to endorse RSPO P&C as the national standard for sustainable development of the palm oil sector. In Cameroon, WWF also supported producers with obtaining RSPO certification.\n \nWWF continues to support the National Interpretation processes in several countries including in Gabon, Cameroon, and India, among others.  \n \nWWF also worked with the financial sector to align their best practices with RSPO principles. WWF provided analysis and recommendations to banks and investors to support their efforts to implement sustainable lending and investment best practices. WWF also provided one-on-one training and support to banks and investors to build their capacity on sustainable finance, including understanding palm oil sustainability issues and benefits of using RSPO certification for risk management and as an indicator of industry best practice.\n",1,"Yes","Yes","According to 2019's Annual Report, WWF International's Income is of CHF 201 million; attributed by WWF National Organisations (48%), Public Sector (30%), Trusts & Foundations (10%), Royalties (6%), Individuals (3%), Corporations (2%), Legacies & Other (1%).",2007,2007,"The Asia Sustainable Palm Oil Links (ASPOL) programme, to be launched in early 2020, supports sustainable production, trade and consumption in five focal countries in Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, India, China and Singapore). In production countries we plan to support jurisdictional approaches, sustainable land use planning, and group certification, as well as to support the implementation review of the Indonesian moratorium and ISPO certification standard. On the trade side we will undertake two major studies to understand destination markets for FFB grown in our priority landscapes as well as reviewing RSPO CSPO flows into China, India and Singapore. In addition, we plan to ramp up efforts on consumer engagement in China and India as well as engage at the policy level to strengthen sustainable sourcing policies for palm oil. With district governments we will assess new production frontiers in India as well as employ a new model for certified production within India.\n\nFollowing through on WWF‚Äôs commitment to drive transparency in the palm oil sector, WWF will launch an update to its Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard in January 2020. The scorecard will assess some of the world‚Äôs biggest brands and users of palm oil on their commitments and actions related to sustainable and deforestation- and conversion-free palm oil.\n\nWWF Singapore will continue its support for SASPO in the coming year. This includes providing funding support for its members to achieve RSPO group certification, commissioning market research to better understand consumer purchasing behaviour and attitudes towards palm oil in Singapore, and developing a consumer facing campaign to support sustainable palm oil.\n\nBy 2025, WWF in India, China and Indonesia aim to support at least 80 companies in the palm oil sector to take concrete actions to increase their commitments to sustainable palm oil, including increasing their support for RSPO certified palm oil and supporting living landscapes in palm oil producing countries. WWF also aims to increase consumer and government awareness and uptake of sustainable palm oil in these markets.\n\nWWF India will continue to work towards increasing the uptake of certified sustainable palm oil in the domestic market by engaging with importers, refiners and consumer goods manufacturers. With support from WWF, the India Sustainable Palm Oil Coalition (I-SPOC) will focus on government policy, supply chain capacity building and end-users awareness through its working groups. WWF India will also commence RSPO domestic pilot implementation, and support the RSPO in establishing a domestic supply of CSPO by certifying existing palm oil plantations in Andhra Pradesh, according to the RSPO independent smallholder standard requirements. \n \nIn Latin America, WWF will continue to work with smallholder oil palm associations to assist them in implementing best management practices aligned with the RSPO P&C. \n \nIn Africa, WWF will continue to support the RSPO P&C 2018 National Interpretation process in both Gabon and Cameroon, and will continue to advocate for governments to endorse the standard as a national standard in various producer countries. We will also continue to provide support to producers in both Gabon and Cameroon to obtain RSPO certification, and will continue to engage with smallholders to support the uptake of best management practices.\n\nWWF will also continue to share analysis and recommendations to financial institutions, providing them with clarity on what constitutes science-based best practices in palm oil sustainability. These recommendations will draw on WWF‚Äôs work on-the-ground with palm oil producers and traders and in critical landscapes, its role shaping multi-stakeholder standards such as the RSPO, and its transformative work with downstream companies on their soft commodity procurement policies and supply chains.\n","Yes","No discrimination ‚ç∞,Wage and working conditions ‚ç∞,Freedom of association ‚ç∞,No child labour ‚ç∞,No harassment ‚ç∞,No forced or trafficked labour ‚ç∞","No","Yes","Recruitment ‚ç∞,Contractors ‚ç∞,Sub-Contractors & Third-Party Contractors ‚ç∞","Yes","Yes","No","No",null,null,"Yes","Yes","Yes","Fair and transparent dealings with Smallholders ‚ç∞,Improved Smallholder livelihoods ‚ç∞","WWF implements smallholder support programs and land-use planning approaches in producing countries, ensuring that palm oil production is sustainable and benefits both people and nature. WWF helps to support the livelihoods of smallholders by providing them with technical support on sustainable palm oil production practices. For instance, as part of its Asia Sustainable Palm Oil Links (ASPOL) programme, WWF aims to support 1150 growers (smallholder and middle-size independents) in living landscapes to produce RSPO certified palm oil covering 120,000 hectares. More specifically, WWF will build on its work in Indonesia, Malaysia and India to create new models of group certification for both small-holder and middle-size independent growers which help reduce costs, through cost-sharing, and can bring in larger numbers of producers for certification. This engagement requires partnerships with certification bodies, auditors and others to train growers in best management practices, and to reach certification standards. It also requires use of traceability tools on the ground to assure ‚Äòclean‚Äô supply chains from plantations to mills, and on to refineries and the markets. Moreover, it requires appropriate financial support and incentive frameworks particularly for smallholders and small-medium growers.\n\nSubsequently, in the Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard to be released by WWF in January 2020, companies were assessed on their efforts to support smallholders in palm oil producing landscapes both directly and through the purchase of RSPO Independent Smallholder Credits. WWF aims to use the Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard to incentivize companies to create resilient and sustainable supply chains that are inclusive to smallholder farmers and to encourage companies to invest in supporting smallholders in palm oil producing landscapes.\n",null,null,"Awareness of RSPO in the market,Certification of smallholders,Human rights issues,Insufficient demand for RSPO-certified palm oil,Reputation of palm oil in the market,Reputation of RSPO in the market,Traceability issues,Others","See the text in this report to see how WWF is working to mitigate the above issues.","Engagement with business partners or consumers on the use of CSPO,Engagement with government agencies,Promotion of CSPO outside of RSPO venues such as trade workshops or industry associations,Promotion of physical CSPO,Providing funding or support for CSPO development efforts,Research & Development support,Stakeholder engagement",null,"https://wwf.panda.org/our_work/food/sustainable_production/palm_oil/"]

Although smallholders are projected to account for more than 40% of Indonesia's total oil palm production in the near future, significant administrative, financial, technical, and educational barriers exist that put RSPO certification out of reach for many of these producers.  Jurisdictional Certification is a proposed mechanism to help overcome these challenges, however the jurisdictional certification framework must go beyond simply applying RSPO's principles and criteria to all farms within a jurisdiction, and shifting compliance and oversight from the farm level to a jurisdictional entity.  Ideally, sustainability metrics and indicators must be developed and monitored at the jurisdictional level rather than at the farm level.

[null,"Zoological Society of London","6-0009-11-000-00","Environmental or Nature Conservation Organisations (Non Governmental Organisations)","Ordinary","United Kingdom","Yes","Environmental and/or Conservation NGO","ZSL (Zoological Society of London) is an international conservation charity working to create a world where wildlife thrives. From investigating the health threats facing animals to helping people and wildlife live alongside each other, ZSL is committed to bringing wildlife back from the brink of extinction. Our work is realised through our ground-breaking science, our field conservation around the world and engaging millions of people through our two zoos, ZSL London Zoo and ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.","Palm Oil Position Statement: ZSL operates a Palm Oil Position Statement across our sites and offices at ZSL London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo in the UK. We recognise that unsustainable palm oil production has serious negative environmental and social impacts. However, we also recognise that the palm oil industry plays an important role in employment and economic development for many countries, and palm oil is currently the most efficient vegetable oil crop in terms of yield per hectare. Due to these factors, we believe that transforming the market to a sustainable supply of palm oil that supports both people and wildlife is the most practical solution. As such, where ZSL procures products containing palm oil, it is committed to sourcing only certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) where available, as a minimum defined by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Principles & Criteria. The full Palm Oil Position Statement is available here: https://www.zsl.org/palm-oil-position-statement\n\nSPOTT: SPOTT, an initiative of ZSL, is an online platform supporting sustainable commodity production and trade (http://www.spott.org). SPOTT assesses commodity producers, processors and traders on their public disclosure regarding their organisation, policies, and practices related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. SPOTT scores tropical forestry, palm oil and natural rubber companies annually against over 100 sector-specific indicators to benchmark their progress over time. SPOTT supports constructive industry engagement by investors, ESG analysts, buyers and other supply chain stakeholders ‚Äì those with the power to influence companies to increase their transparency and improve their practices on the ground. Users of SPOTT can identify areas where a company is making continuous improvement and other areas where more engagement may be needed. SPOTT indicators and assessment data can inform policies and procedures for due diligence, screening and sourcing. In 2019, ZSL published assessments of 99 palm oil producers, processors and traders (https://www.spott.org/palm-oil), 100 timber and pulp producers, processors and traders (https://www.spott.org/timber-pulp), and a pilot assessment of 15 natural rubber producers. The average score of palm oil companies in October 2019 was 35.2% - a decrease from 2018 due to the addition of 29 more companies and changes to the indicator framework, but still a clear improvement compared to the first assessments in 2014, when average scores were less than 30%. The 61 RSPO members assessed (including those with subsidiary members) scored an average of 49.1% in 2018, while the 38 non-RSPO members averaged 12.8%.\n\nKELOLA Sendang: Since 2015, ZSL has been working in Indonesia with the Government of South Sumatra on a landscape management project, KELOLA Sendang. This public-private-people partnership aims to address the challenges of deforestation, peatland degradation, wildfires and their associated climate impacts within the context of green growth and biodiversity conservation. The project supports the government, private sector, including palm oil companies, and local communities, to pilot a sustainable management partnership model across the 1.6 million hectare Sembilang-Dangku landscape in South Sumatra, an important habitat for Sumatran tigers and other wildlife. As part of KELOLA Sendang, we are supporting the implementation of best management practices (BMP) within the public and private sectors (including working with RSPO member palm oil companies), working towards sustainable production, while also enabling smallholders and community members in 21 priority villages to access local resources in an environmentally sustainable way.\n\nStakeholder engagement: In 2019 ZSL continued to work with a variety of stakeholders in the palm oil industry to support and promote sustainable palm oil. Financial sector stakeholders and buyers are the primary audience for SPOTT, and ZSL attended various meetings, and presented at events, on webinars and podcasts, to disseminate information and encourage financiers and buyers to use the data and work with palm oil companies to improve their transparency and actions on the ground. ZSL also engaged with several palm oil companies to increase the uptake of best practices for palm oil production and sourcing, as well as to encourage improved transparency in corporate reporting. The SPOTT team also produced various research pieces to support both assessed companies and industry stakeholders, including 'Palm oil: a business case for sustainability' - a report aimed at articulating some of the financial and business-focused arguments for working towards more sustainable palm oil production, which included focus on the benefits of RSPO certification. ZSL has continued to be part of the UK Roundtable on Sourcing Sustainable Palm Oil with the UK Government's Department for International Development (DFID), and has also continued to engage in discussions within the international zoo community on sustainable procurement of palm oil and outreach and education, involving organisations such as the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA).\n",5,"Yes","Yes","Our work on palm oil is funded through grants, charitable donations and some charitable core funds.",2011,2011,"ZSL will continue to promote and support sustainable palm oil via SPOTT and our related outreach and engagement activities.

We help communities, countries and societies protect tropical forests, lush grasslands, rivers, wetlands, abundant lakes and the sea. Only through properly valuing the essential services these ecosystems provide can we create a sustainable development path that will benefit all people for generations to come.\n\nOur scientists, field staff and policy experts are: measuring the contribution of healthy ecosystems to human well-being; assessing the implications of development decisions; putting cutting-edge, rigorously tested information in the hands of decision-makers and the public; and demonstrating through field models how economic opportunity and the stewardship of natural resources can leverage change at an international scale.\n\nOur strategy is built around three pillars:\n1.\tProtecting critical natural capital, biodiversity and ecosystems that provide the foundation for human well-being.\n2.\tFostering effective governance at local, national, and international levels.\n3.\tPromoting sustainable production practices. \n\nThe palm oil sector is particularly important to CI's mission because it can be an important driver of economic growth in developing countries, can create employment opportunities in rural areas, is the highest yielding oil crop per hectare and is a globally important foodstuff. However, poorly planned and managed oil palm cultivation can result in forest conversion, undermining the biodiversity and ecosystem health upon which agriculture and ultimately human well-being depend. Effective and constructive engagement with the palm oil sector, and related agribusiness sectors, is extremely important to forging joint solutions based on identification and implementation of better practices for oil palm cultivation, promotion of science-based land use planning and zoning, and the development of government and market policies with the goal of protecting environmental values, supporting economic growth and improving rural livelihoods.\n","CI is working at multiple levels to promote sustainable palm oil. At the global level, we participate in and support the RSPO and we maintain engagements with several major corporations that produce, trade, or purchase palm oil in their products. Through these engagements, CI provides support to companies seeking to develop and implement sustainable sourcing policies, including the purchase of CSPO. We also work to create a supportive policy environment for sustainable palm oil in producer countries such as Indonesia, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and Liberia, as well as in consumer markets such as the EU and the US. At the local level, we continue to support small producers with certification as well as through seeking certification and implementation of better management practices.\n\nHighlights of this work include:\n\nUS:\nIn the U.S., CI consistently engages with actors within the supply chain as well as other relevant key stakeholders (NGOs, finance, etc.) to provide support on policy implementation, to promote dialogue, and to encourage innovation and action that leads to sectoral, not just supply chain, transformation. CI has advised retailers and agribusinesses in their commitments to sustainable palm oil. CI also served as a member of NASPON, participating in the segregated working group aimed at understanding current challenges in the North American market to sourcing physical CSPO as well as opportunities for reducing supply chain barriers to sustainability. In addition, in 2019, Conservation International supported the ‚ÄúStatement in support of Sustainable Palm Oil‚Äù ‚Äì a joint statement by conservation organizations in favor of a move to sustainable palm oil and not blanket boycotts. \n\nEUROPE:\nIn Europe, we have advertised CI‚Äôs projects in producer countries, in particular sustainable landscapes and jurisdictions, to encourage prioritization and increased funding for those initiatives supporting sustainable palm oil.

WRI partners directly with the RSPO Secretariat and numerous RSPO members to utilize on how to best utilize these tools to drive impact in the palm oil sector. \n\nIn June 2019, we publicly launched the new GFW Pro platform and on-boarded many RSPO members as initial users of the system. GFW Pro allows companies to manage geospatial data with ease through analysis and dashboards designed for commodity companies and banks‚Äô day-to-day operations. Freely available to all, it unites users within complex commodity supply chains around a common approach to quantify and manage progress towards meeting deforestation commitments, adhere to commitments, and demonstrate regulatory compliance.\n\n(2) In November 2019, we launched an updated version around the Universal Mill List further aligning the industry around a comprehensive, common dataset. The new version of the UML is the combined effort of eleven major organizations working on supply chain transparency, as well data contributions and input from dozens of companies across the palm oil supply chain, RSPO and FoodReg. In a renewed effort to improve the coverage and accuracy of palm oil mills data new contributors from Trase, Earthworm Foundation, Auriga, CIFOR, Transitions, the University of California Santa Barbara and the University of Hawaii joined forces with the initial UML developers WRI, Rainforest Alliance, Proforest and Daemeter to produce this updated version of the dataset.\n\nThe wider collaboration and increased standardization achieved with this new version of the UML ensures greater credibility and more buy-in from the industry at large.The UML is publicly available and will be accessible across a number of platforms including GFW and GFW Pro, RSPO PalmTrace, the Papua Atlas and the Borneo Atlas, Starling, as well as trase.earth. \n\n(3) In November 2019, we announced that a coalition of ten major palm oil producers and buyers are collaborating to support and fund the development of a new, publicly available radar-based forest monitoring system known as Radar Alerts for Detecting Deforestation (RADD). This partnership between Bunge, Cargill, Golden Agri-Resources (GAR), Mondelƒìz International, Musim Mas, Nestl√©, Pepsico, Sime Darby Plantation, Unilever and Wilmar will make it much easier for companies and other stakeholders to see deforestation happening in near-real-time and with greater accuracy. With this information, they can more quickly mobilize follow-up actions on the ground and work to improve the sustainability of commodity supply chains.\n\nDeveloped by Wageningen University and Satelligence, and facilitated by World Resources Institute, the RADD system will augment existing publicly available monitoring tools that rely on optical-based satellite imagery, which can be delayed when clouds obstruct the view of forests. Through the use of radar waves, the new system can penetrate cloud cover and gather forest change information without being affected by clouds or sunlight.\n\nWhat makes RADD unique is that it is the first radar-based monitoring system of this scale that will make deforestation alerts publicly available. Once the system is complete, the alerts will be available on Global Forest Watch and Global Forest Watch Pro, and the methodology behind the alerts will be published.\n\n(4) WRI continued to support the RSPO on geospatial analysis initiatives as such GeoRSPO platform (powered by Global Forest Watch), and HCV/NPP monitoring.\n\n(5) WRI continued to engage in RSPO decision-making processes by participating in the RSPO Board of Governors as co-chair, Remuneration Committee, BHCV WG, No Deforestation TF, NDJSG (alternate), Peatlands Working Group (alternate), Standards and Certification Standing Committee.\n\n(6) WRI Indonesia participated as a partner in the RSPO Smallholder Trainer Academy, launched at the RT in November 2019\n\n(7) WRI Indonesia works on strengthening governance of plantation sectors in Indonesia through: a) Providing technical assistance for local government in palm oil commodities mapping in collaboration with 5 pilot districts, b) Collaborating with LAPAN in developing automated digital classification for palm oil mapping, c) Developing national standards of palm oil parcels mapping to be integrated in STDB process, d) Building capacity of field extension officers to accelerate RSPO certification in two pilot districts, e) Promoting aerohydroculture technique to applied in palm oil smallholder on peatland in collaboration with BRG (Peat Restoration Agency), f) Supporting smallholder certification in two selected districts with strong involvement of local field extension officers and village administration in collaboration with Unilever, RSPO RSSF, and PTPN V  g) Engaging in smallholder intensification research in Rokan Hulu under GYGA  project, in collaboration with University of Nebraska Lincoln\n\n(8) WRI served on the Steering Group of the Accountability Framework Initiative, HCVRN Management Committee, Tropical Forest Alliance Steering Committee  ",3,"Yes","Yes","Global Forest Watch has received generous support (including both past and current\nfunders) from USAID, Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment, UKAid, Gordon and\nBetty Moore Foundation, Cargill, GEF, Generation Foundation, Inter-American\nDevelopment Bank, IDB Invest, MacArthur, Foundation, IIC, Wilburforce Foundation,\nBobolink Foundation, Eurasia Foundation, IFC, Johnson&Johnson, Mondelez, Morgan\nFamily Fund, Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO), NewPage, Rainforest\nAlliance, Tetra Tech, The Tilia Fund, UNEP, Walmart Foundation, World Bank.\n\nThe RADD project is supported by Bunge, Cargill, Golden Agri-Resources (GAR), Mondelƒìz International, Musim Mas, Nestl√©, Pepsico, Sime Darby Plantation, Unilever and Wilmar. \n\nWRI Indonesia's related work is supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Unilever, RSPO RSSF, and University of Nebraska ",2011,2009,"1.
