DEPOK – TSE Group subsidiary PT Papua Agro Lestari (PAL) has been awarded an Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certificate, meaning it now meets the oil palm plantation standards mandated in Agriculture Ministerial Regulation No. 33 of 2025.
PAL is the last to be certified out of TSE Group’s palm oil businesses that include PT Tunas Sawa Erma (2016), PT Berkat Cipta Abadi (2019), PT Dongin Prabhawa (2019), and PT Gelora Mandiri Membangun (2024).
TSE Group’s Sangjo Woo received the plaque on behalf of the company’s management Wednesday (3/11/2026) from MUTU International’s Director of Operations Irham Budiman at the latter’s office in Depok, West Java.
Accompanying Woo were TSE Group’s Director Luwy Leunufna and officials Heeseong An, Dannu Ichsan, and Rama Chrysta.

This collective accomplishment demonstrates shared commitment to sustainable oil palm production and processing practices, said Leunufna.
“It reflects compliance with sustainable farming practices across our management at all [TSE Group] locations.”
ISPO standards focus on legal adherence, good plantation practices, HCV and overall environmental protection, work safety and health (OSH/K3), social responsibility, transparency, as well as continuous business improvement.
Certifying for ISPO provides palm oil companies with the benefits of boosting global competitiveness, cementing stakeholder trust, and ensuring more eco-friendly, socially responsible management.
PAL’s certification echoes TSE Group’s dedication to aligning oil palm cultivation with sustainability principles in Indonesia. (PALMOIL)
