WWF-Indonesia The Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association (GAPKI) was established in Medan, North Sumatra on 14 February 1981. GAPKI’s objectives are to encourage members in improving plantation management including developing sustainable oil palm plantations, and to support the government of Indonesia in establishing regulation on the environment. GAPKI’s role in the palm oil value chain are to unify oil palm companies in Indonesia to become an economic power to enhance the welfare of people, nation and country, and to enhance research activities, to distribute information on environment protection, quality of production, marketing, etc. GAPKI consists of 119 members located in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. Indonesian
Palm Oil Producers Association (GAPKI) Sawit Watch was set up in 1998 and since then, we have built a network of over 50 members and local contacts working with dozens of local communities in Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi. Our mandate is based on the call to support local communities who have lost their forests and livelihoods because of large-scale oil palm expansion and for those in forestlands who continue to resist this development. Through this mandate we hope to contribute to the conservation and restoration of Indonesia’s forests and to promote the best deal for those communities that choose to live with oil palm plantations. Sawit Watch focuses on raising community awareness. This involves capacity building in the form of meetings and training aimed to inform community members about the impacts of oil palm plantations. The second step is to assist communities in securing their land rights and sustaining traditional community (adat) laws. This is done through conflict resolution and lobbying government at the national and local level for land reform and community sovereignty over natural resource management. The third step is to assist communities in developing or maintaining economically, socially and ecologically sustainable land/forest management.
Sawit Watch Socfin SA is a Belgian concern having it’s origins from the Belgian Congo back in the 1890’s, and acquiring its first Malaysian plantation in 1905. Adrian Hallet, a founder of Socfin, planted the first commercial oil palm plantation in Indonesia in 1911. The parent holding company of the Socfin group is Socfinal based in Luxembourg. The group presently has interests in plantation companies throughout Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Guinea, Kenya and Indonesia. These interests usually involve a majority shareholding and are always managed by the group through Socfinco SA based in Brussels. Although Palm Oil and Rubber are its core products the group also produces Coffee and Roses. All produce if not sold locally are exported through Sogescol SA, also based in Brussels. Socfin has always adhered to sound long term sustainable decision making which is probably why it has survived for so long. This cautious approach respects the environment and the culture of the country in which it is operating. As such International Development Banks like DEG often participate in the groups' investments.
