PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAKARTA – PTPN Group continues to implement strategic initiatives to support sustainability principles. One of the company’s key focuses is environmental management, where PTPN actively promotes eco-friendly plantation practices, including palm oil waste management and the use of renewable energy.
A concrete step taken is the utilization of biogas from palm oil mill waste (PKS) as an alternative energy source, which has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, PTPN is involved in reforestation and agroforestry programs to restore ecological functions in less productive lands.
