Partnership for Goals
Partnership for Goals
At REA, we believe that addressing global issues requires shared responsibility and collective action. We combine diverse expertise and resources by partnering with governments, NGOs, academic institutions, and local communities to create sustainable solutions. Our partnerships aim to safeguard crucial ecosystems, support smallholders, and improve communities' livelihoods. We strive to inspire innovation, foster inclusivity, and make meaningful strides towards a more sustainable and fair future.
In order to promote sustainable development and forest conservation, we collaborate with a diverse group of partners, including local and regional governments, universities, research institutes, NGOs, and local communities. These collaborations enable us to comply with traceability regulations like the EUDR, while also fostering local development and encouraging responsible environmental practices.
Key initiatives under our landscape-level approach include:
Together with NGO Plan B and local communities, we conduct participatory spatial analyses in eight villages (Buluq Sen, Kelekat, Long Beleh Modang, Long Beleh Haloq, Muai, Muara Ritan, Kembang Janggut, Pulau Pinang, and Perdana). These efforts aim to improve land governance, mitigate deforestation risks, and support provincial spatial planning that balances forest protection with the needs of community development.
REA is committed to environmental and biodiversity conservation through the management of orangutan habitats within its HGU area. This includes a focus on High Conservation Value (HCV) areas and active participation in the orangutan conservation community, FORINA.
- We work with the Indonesian plantation department and local government to support independent smallholders in adopting sustainable GAPs. To date, we have supported 61 smallholders in achieving RSPO and ISPO certifications.
- SHINES: The SHINES programme is a customised initiative designed to support smallholders by offering training on evolving standards such as the EUDR while promoting forest conservation. For more information, read here.
