Sustainability Policy

Our Sustainability Policy covers our no deforestation, no peat and no exploitation (NDPE) commitments.

Teck Guan will also continue to improve our sustainability practices and will remain an industry leader in innovation by participating in the continuous improvement of standards, monitoring systems, and applied research.

Our Principles

• Adherence to the Best Practices Guidelines laid down by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).

• No usage of fire during new development or replanting; preference to adopt mechanical methods.

• No development on Primary Forest or areas that are identified with High Conservation Values or High Carbon Stock (HCS).

• No development of HCS forests as defined by the HCS Approach.

• No development of Peatland, regardless of depth.

• No planting on steep terrain and/or marginal and fragile soils.

• No establishment of new plantings in places where it can be demonstrated that there are legal or customary or user rights, without having obtained 'Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC)'.

• Continually explore ways to enhance the state of the natural environment in which we operate, by monitoring and continuously reviewing our activities.
