Warm regards,
“Net Zero Emission” reflects both a global trend and a timely call to engage in moral and environmental responsibility as palm oil stakeholders. It asks us to contemplate the transformations in our industry and move further into a low-carbon, productive business practice.
But above all, it reminds us of the crossroads at which the industry stands. One path encourages the continuation of an establishment that has powered millions of livelihoods and generated foreign exchange income. The other presents a reality of such choice, forcing us to face the climate impacts, environmental pressures, and sustainability demands that follow.
Our response as TSE Group has been to balance these interests, ensuring a sustainable and responsible operation that aligns our growth with community development and nature preservation.
We’re doing this through our switch to electric transport, biogas plant projects, reduced use of chemical fertilizers, and Papua Lestari — aboat designed to support our research with IPB University on South Papua’s pig-nosed turtles and greater birds-of-paradise.
Our POME-to-biogas plants will especially help us manage production waste better and create a practical energy solution. It marks an important point in the journey towards our vision and net-zero emissions.
These actions prove how low-carbon transitions are possible with hard work, collaboration, and long-term commitment. As milestones in our journey, they are documented in this edition of TSE Magazine to enable greater awareness, dialogue, and cross-sectoral work.
We believe the future of this industry — at least in Indonesia — lies in its ability to adapt and innovate. No longer a pipe dream, zero emissions has become a necessity, and we hope to contribute to its success.
Have a great read. We hope these stories inspire you.
Thank you
