PTPN IV PalmCo Intensifies Environmental Conservation Efforts

Tree Planting Initiative Across 12 Provinces

PTPN IV PalmCo has significantly ramped up its environmental conservation efforts by planting tens of thousands of trees across multiple operational areas on November 28, 2025. This initiative is part of the company's broader sustainability strategy aimed at reducing environmental degradation and restoring critical areas in several of its operational regions. The tree planting activities were conducted in riparian areas, forests, coastal regions, and erosion-prone areas to enhance ecological functions and minimize the risk of natural disasters.

Addressing Hydrological Disasters

The company's efforts are particularly timely given the increasing frequency of hydrological disasters in various regions, especially in Sumatra. Recent weeks have seen a surge in floods and landslides, highlighting the urgent need for environmental restoration. By strengthening vegetation cover, PTPN IV PalmCo aims to improve the region's resilience to such disasters.

Leadership Commitment to Sustainability

Jatmiko K. Santosa, Director of PTPN IV PalmCo, emphasized that strengthening vegetation cover is a primary pillar of sustainable landscape management. He noted that this effort not only improves environmental quality but also enhances the region's ability to minimize the risk of floods and landslides. This commitment to sustainability is reflected in the company's continued investment in environmental restoration projects.

Scope of Environmental Initiatives

Over the past two years, PTPN IV PalmCo has planted more than 26,000 trees across 12 provinces, including Aceh, North Sumatra, Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra, Lampung, West Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, and East Kalimantan. This extensive effort demonstrates the company's dedication to environmental stewardship and its proactive approach to addressing the environmental challenges faced by its operational regions.
