“Our focus on sustainability is also aligned with national and regional climate goals, both here in the United Arab Emirates and in the other countries where we operate,” he added.
At the event, APRIL team members also highlighted the depth and scale of the company’s sustainability commitments, which are driven by its Sustainable Forest Management Policy 2.0 (SFMP 2.0) and its long term APRIL2030 targets, while also sharing updates on its flagship forest ecosystem restoration program, Restorasi Ekosistem Riau (RER).
APRIL’s SFMP 2.0 commits the company to no deforestation, no development on peatland, and the protection of high conservation value forests. APRIL2030 is comprised of 18 targets, including net zero emissions from land use, source 90% of mill energy needs from renewables and cleaner energy sources and reducing product carbon emissions intensity by 25%, to be achieved by 2030.
The APRIL2030 targets were designed by the company to be aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and wider industry benchmarks.
Set up in 2013 by APRIL, the RER is one of the largest ecosystem restoration programs in South East Asia. The forest landscapes in the RER area are located on the Kampar Peninsula and Padang Island in Riau Province, Sumatra Indonesia. The RER covers approximately 150,693 ha of previously degraded peat swamp forest, an area about the same size as London.
The forest areas in the RER provide sanctuary to more than 840 plants and wildlife species and support more than 40,000 people living in the surrounding communities.
