TRANSFORMATIVE PARTNERSHIPS

Sustainable development is a collaborative effort. At Apical, we collaborate closely with our stakeholders,
especially our suppliers, to achieve our sustainability goals. We have implemented several impactful initiatives,
such as enhancing supply chain traceability, adopting sustainability management practices and achieving
NDPE compliance. We are always committed to further supporting our suppliers in their sustainability journey.

To deepen our engagement with suppliers, these are the four key targets that we are progressing towards:

100% NDPE compliant supply chain by clean energy through 20 biogas plants
2025

Engage 100% of suppliers for traceability Partner with suppliers to protect and/
independent verification by 2025 or conserve 150,000 ha of forest and
peatland by 2030

CLIMATE ACTION

The impacts of climate change on our global systems are increasingly apparent over the past few years
– extreme weather events of high severity have affected food security. Apical is aware of the role we can
play to reduce the impact of our business to climate change. Recent actions such as Scope 3 measurement
and assessment were conducted in 2023, and are linked to the two targets that were established
- a medium-term target and a long-term target – to mitigate emissions from its operations and value chain.
The targets were designed with Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contributions, our peers, stakeholders
and customers.

To reduce 50% GHG emission intensity Achieve net zero by 2050
in our production against 2020 baseline
by 2030
Our final target to achieve net zero by 2050 has been developed with reference to requirements stipulated
by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
