WWF Indonesia has been supporting sustainable palm oil practices through RSPO  from the perspective of environmental aspects. Our role is to support the transformation from conventional palm oil production practices into sustainable palm oil practices with mission zero deforestation, legality and implementation of traceability system. ","No","WWF Indonesia currently focusing its activities and interventions on promoting sustainable production and consumption in the palm oil sector.\n\nPROMOTING SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION\nWWF 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. Having this target WWF Indonesia works to create innovation and combined approach of landscape and jurisdiction by working with various stakeholders along the supply chains. WWF Indonesia constantly working with independent smallholder in order to increase their capacity and awareness of sustainable oil palm practices and at the end can be complied with RSPO Principles and Criteria. Series 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. To date WWF Indonesia works with four independent smallholder farmers in Kuantan Sengingi district in Riau province as well as in Sintang District, Kapuas Hulu District, and Melawi District in West Kalimantan Province. Several projects also targeted and intervened the policy works at the sub-national and national level. At the moment, WWF Indonesia works in Kapuas Hulu district in West Kalimantan Province to develop Green Economy initiative in the Heart of Borneo (HoB) area where palm oil becoming the main commodity and promoting sustainability on this sector is one of the main deliverable. At the same time, WWF Indonesia works closely with Sintang district local government in helping them to shape sustainable development strategy, especially for the oil palm sector. The intervention itself targeted the spatial planning policy and capacity building for independent smallholders towards ISPO and RSPO readiness.\n\n\nPROMOTING SUSTAINABLE DEMAND\nThe 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 is in the middle of discussion 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. WWF 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 traceability pilot project to prevent deforestation with involving main buyers in global with its supply chain on the landscape. The main aim this project is to protect remain forest in National Park Tesso Nilo by closing access to mills with currently by FFB of unknown provenance. \n\nThe second initiative is consumer campaign to improve end-user‚Äôs awareness on sustainable product, particularly palm oil-based product. This initiative was started in 2015 also in collaboration with RSPO Indonesia. WWF continues to improve the way we campaign sustainable demand in order to put pressure from the end-users on sustainable palm oil-based product to be available in domestic market.\n\nPROMOTING SUSTAINABLE FINANCE\nWWF Indonesia is supporting OJK (Indonesia Financial Service Authority) program on sustainable finance first movers pledge for banks. Eight national banks representing 46% of national banking asset signed an MoU with WWF Indonesia in end of 2015. WWF-Indonesia developed a sustainable palm oil financing guidelines and endorsed by OJK as an official voluntary guidelines for banks.

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.

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","No","CI is working at multiple levels to promote sustainable palm oil.

WWF communicated publicly regarding outcome of the review process, welcoming the new 2018 P&C as a major step forward for sustainability in the palm oil industry.\n\nWWF 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 the RSPO in order to strengthen the RSPO systems and contribute to its credibility. WWF urges all companies in the palm oil value chain to get 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, including the RSPO.  WWF asks companies not to boycott palm oil but rather be part of the solution and drive change on the ground by supporting palm oil producers engaged in responsible practices.\n\n In 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 so that producer members pursue certification and buyer members provide timebound reporting of progress toward ambitious targets for CSPO. \nBeyond its participation in the 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 polices 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 corporate engagement with companies, engagement with business platforms, promoting better management practices, encouraging sustainable land use planning, working with producer and buyer country governments, and developing and promoting investment screens. \n\nAmong others, WWF undertook the following activities in 2018: \n\nWWF Singapore 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 its belief that increasing the market demand for certified sustainable palm oil is necessary to increase the production. \n\nWWF India launched the Sustainable Palm Oil Coalition for India (India-SPOC) as a collaborative effort between WWF‚ÄìIndia, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, Centre for Responsible Business and Rainforest Alliance, in October 2018, with the goal of addressing barriers to uptake of sustainable palm oil in India. The coalition aims to work with companies in India for the purpose of facilitating collaboration within the industry and help improving sustainability performance across their palm oil supply chain. The collaborative platform consists of associations, civil society organisations, FMCG manufacturers, retailers, banks and financial institutions, and palm oil traders and producers committed to increase the use of sustainable palm oil and its derivatives in India.\n\nWWF India commissioned a market research firm to undertake a ‚ÄòConsumer Survey on Sustainable Palm Oil‚Äô. The objective of the survey was to identify appropriate demographic groups and assess their current levels of awareness about the environmental impacts regularly used FMCG products with palm oil as an ingredient. The survey outcomes were intended to provide a clearer picture of consumer sensitivities, purchasing preferences and their perception of ‚Äòsustainable‚Äô alternatives to these products; to help design a consumer awareness campaign to promote sustainable palm oil in India.\n\nWWF Japan collaborated with other RSPO members to hold the Japan Sustainable Palm Oil Conference (JaSPOC), an annual event aimed at advancing practical activities to promote CSPO procurement among Japanese palm oil companies. \nWWF China worked with CFNA and RSPO to launch the China Sustainable Palm Oil Alliance. \n \nWWF Africa organized an RSPO Roadshow in Cameroon for local communities, smallholders and workers in the operational sites of two companies in the SOCFIN Group in order to generate interest and commitment of local communities, smallholders, workers and other stakeholders for sustainable palm oil. \n\nWWF supported the establishment of the RSPO-HCSA No Deforestation Joint Steering Group (NDJSG) to continue discussion and reflection related to applications of the HCSA tools in the six High Forest Cover Countries including the African countries of Liberia, DRC, Gabon and Republic of Congo.\nWWF supported Olam Palm Gabon to undergo its RSPO New Planting Procedure and achieve certification in two sites.\n\nWWF continues to play a regional facilitation role for TFA 2020 Africa Palm Oil Initiative in central Africa.  This includes developing national principles and actions plans aimed at deforestation free palm production and validating them with stakeholders.  The RSPO standard is mentioned as a priority action in most of the national action plans created under the program.  So far, national platforms are officially established in CAR and DRC in order to implement the national action plans in these two countries.\n\nIn the Central American Region, WWF is working with smallholder oil palm producers to support better production practices to reduce pesticides and fertilizer application per unit of production and also to improve soil conservation practices to reduce soil erosion, with the aim of guide the smallholders to be prepared for RSPO certification and to minimize the negative impacts to the Mesoamerican reef ecosystem. Along with the promotion of better production practices, our technical team conducted RSPO Principles and Criteria training sessions with more that 120 smallholders.\n\nWith large producers/mills we are assisting with the compensation concept note and compensation plan to remediate the deforestation impacts. So far three mills in Honduras are in process to get the compensation plan approval from RSPO and be audited for RSPO certification.\n\nWWF will support National Interpretations of RSPO P&C in many countries. Meanwhile we are participating in other national discussions including that around the Ecuador jurisdictional approach.\n\nWWF also works with the financial sector to align their practices with RSPO principles. WWF provided investors with analysis and recommendations to support engagement with banks financing palm oil companies to drive sustainable lending best practices (see here for mention of WWF in PRI palm oil investor working group terms of reference, bottom of first page). We also engaged in one-on-one trainings and support to banks and investors to build capacity on sustainable finance, including understanding palm oil sustainability issues and benefits of using RSPO certification for risk management and indicator of industry best practice. \n\nWWF also provided input into Bank Negara Malaysia‚Äôs sustainable finance guidelines for Islamic banks, referencing sustainability certification standards (e.g. RSPO) as recommended best practices for banks to reference in their environmental and social risk management frameworks.\n",1,"Yes","Yes","According to the WWF Annual Review 2018, WWF‚Äôs income in FY 2018 came from the following sources: Individuals, 35%; Government Grants, 14%; Network, 5%, Corporations, 5%; Foundations, 10%; Other non-operating contributions, 5%; and In Kind & Other, 26%.",2007,2007,"In April 2019, Netflix will launch Our Planet, a documentary film series on the state of the planet‚Äôs natural world along with the challenges and risks faced by biomes and the species that inhabit them.

In addition, WWF has collaborated with Netflix on a series of complementary content on Ourplanet.com that provides viewers with more background on the palm oil issue and explains how producing and purchasing responsibly produced, deforestation-free palm oil is a vital strategy to help halt the negative impacts of palm oil.\n\nFollowing through on WWF‚Äôs commitment to drive transparency in the palm oil space, WWF will review its Palm Oil Buyers Scorecards, including assessing some of the world‚Äôs biggest brands and users of palm oil on their commitments and actions related to sustainable and deforestation-free palm oil, with the possibility of launching another Scorecard within the year.\n\nWWF will launch a report on the palm oil market in Poland, in order to set the stage for initiating a Polish Coalition for Sustainable palm oil.\n\nWWF Singapore will continue to support and track the progress of Singaporean companies to 100% RSPO CSPO, and continue its support for SASPO including helping to regionalize the platform. WWF Singapore is working with WWF Indonesia to set up SASPO Indonesia by the end of this year.\n\nAlong with other RSPO members, WWF Japan will establish the Japan Sustainable Palm Oil Network (JaSPON) which seeks to promote the procurement and consumption of RSPO certified palm oil in the Japan market. The platform will form several Working Groups to tackle an number of key issues.\n\nAs part of the broader palm oil engagement in India, WWF-India will partner with the RSPO to support the development of RSPO India standard. This work includes participating in the National Interpretation Working Group (NIWG) which aims to adapt the RSPO P&C to the Indian context.\n\nWWF India along with the other launch partners will be actively involved in the outreach and promotion of I-SPOC at industry specific events (such as the GlobOil and India Food Forum). This includes driving one on one engagements with companies in the palm oil supply chain to encourage them to join the coalition. A meeting for members and prospective members will take place in Mumbai in order to finalize the governance structure of the coalition and draft an action plan.\n\nGiven the market specific nuances involved in the consumer perception on palm oil, WWF India will conduct qualitative group discussions to assess the levels of consumer awareness and their knowledge about palm oil, the insights from which will be used to design a consumer awareness campaign.\n\nWWF India will collaborate with one of India‚Äôs leading refiner of edible oils and fats to conduct a market assessment on the potential for adoption of sustainable palm oil amongst their small and medium sized customers. The surveys will focus on assessing their receptivity to the concept of sustainable palm oil and jointly engage on customer engagement activities to promote sustainable palm oil in the Indian market. \n\nIn May 2019, WWF-India along with ISEAL Alliance, FSC and RSPO will organize a strategic dialogue on the topic of moving towards deforestation-free supply chains in India. The roundtable, focusing on natural rubber, oil palm, wood and pulp sectors, will be attended by key business and finance sector stakeholders working to establish sustainable supply chains in India.\n\nWWF China plans to launch a consumer campaign to educate the public about the palm oil issue as well as the solutions offered through certified sustainable palm oil. In addition, it will organize a field trip for companies to production areas in order to show the risks of irresponsible palm oil production as well as highlight examples of companies engaged in sustainable practices.  WWF China also plans to organize a sustainable palm oil forum in collaboration with the RSPO and CFNA.\n\nIn Africa, WWF will support the ongoing certification process of SOCAPALM and SAFACAM, two subsidiaries of SODFIN in Cameroon, as well as support the ongoing certification process of about 19,000 hectares of Olam‚Äôs Makouke plantation in Gabon. \n \nIn Central America, WWF will continue its work with a group of 150 smallholders promoting better production practices.  Starting in July 2019 two smallholder association groups (targeting at least 300 producers in each association group), will be prepared for RSPO certification.  WWF also has plans to develop a traceability platform to be piloted in Honduras and Colombia and eventually scaled-up in Latin America. If the proposal is approved, the pilot will be executed between July 2019 to June 2020.\n\nWWF will continue to share analysis and recommendations to financial institutions, providing them with clarity on what constitutes science-based best practice in palm oil sustainability.
