As one of the key participants in the plantation sector, the Group is fully aware of the importance of prudent management of natural resources. To this end, the Group has initiated various environment custodian efforts.

We have successfully implemented several best practices which have helped to conserve and protect the environment. This includes a zero-burning policy which is aimed at minimising pollution. Another example is the unique automated and mechanised composting process designed to use empty fresh fruit bunches to produce organic fertiliser. This 'zero-waste zero-discharge' plant is known
as the Boustead Biotherm Palmass Process and is
located at our Teluk Sengat estate in Johor.

We are also a founding member of the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) which encourages the implementation of good agricultural practices. We have commenced the process of self assessment programmes to ensure that we remain a conscious oil palm grower as preservation of the environment cannot be taken for granted.
