Kabupaten of East Belitung, and Province of Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. The oil palm smallholder scheme
was set up in the early 2003 with full support from SMM staff to train the smallholders to have a regular
source of income. SMM has explained and communicated the importance of RSPO certification assessment
and its implementation to a sample of smallholders..
The TNI audit team concluded that during audit the operations of smallholders met the standard requirements
of the Indonesian National Interpretation of RSPO Principles and Criteria and RSPO Certification
requirements. The SMM management has committed to develop and to fully support smallholders to be able
to operate their plantation in a sustainable manner, within the framework of RSPO Principles and Criteria.

documents with the use of a customised RSPO audit checklist according to RSPO manual, procedures
and palm oil mill and plantation working instructions;
Certification Body reviews the results of the consultation process (stakeholder meeting) prior to
certification assessment . The detailed method is given in point 2.8.
Back ground investigations (published dispute, public comment on preliminary announcement) and
followed by interviews with personnel of the organization RSPO management, employees and the
stakeholders (people surrounding, NGO representatives, land regulators, social watchers, labour union).
Verification of proposed corrective action continued by review of the assessment report by the internal
veto persons (board of directors of PT. TÜV NORD Indonesia)
The summary public report of certification assessment includes Corrective Action Requests, Corrective
Action Taken Plan, Verification of Corrective Action Taken, and Progress on implementation of Corrective
Action will be checked during the Surveillance Audit.

2.8 Outline of how stakeholders were interviewed
Stakeholder consultations began with notification of upcoming assessment through websites of RSPO,
SMM and TNI. Telephone calls, e-mails, facsimiles or letters were sent to applicable stakeholders.
Mechanisms for consultation with stakeholders was carried out regularly in accordance with external
communication procedure, which is integrated with SM-K3 procedures. Before proceeding with the
assessment, the audit team checked the complete proceedings of the stakeholder meeting conducted
previously to ensure all information of the meeting results could be followed up.
The stakeholders were invited to discuss critical issues regarding community development, including the
latest progress of plans for community development and the targets to be achieved. Some of the items on the
agenda for the stakeholders meeting were: to maintain infrastructure of churches, mosques, roads, irrigation
and drainage, kindergarten play yard and schools. In addition, to provide financial support, scholarships,
welfare, sanitary and improvement of hygiene of people living near employee’s housing complex, palm oil
mill and supply base. The discussion with stakeholders was well organized. The audit team visited some

There is no indigenous people living around PT. SMM based on secondary data from demographic profile
and consultation with local community. The definition or criteria of indigenous people is as follows: Indigenous
Peoples can be identified, in particular geographical areas, by the presence, in varying degrees, of the
following characteristics: a) close attachment to ancestral territories and to the natural resources in these areas;
b) self-identification and identification by others as members of a distinct cultural group; c) an indigenous language,
often different from the national language; d) presence of customary social and political institutions; and e)
primarily subsistence-oriented production.
Source: World Bank (operational directive 4.20, 1991):
The definition of indigenous people in Bahasa is: masyarakat asli or masyarakat adat, as termed by the Ministry of
Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, and none of those people living in this area are categorized as
indigenous people. The “dukun” (natural / traditional healer) represent local community but not considered as
indigenous people.
Some non-staff women workers has been interviewed confidentially considering gender representative and TNI has
committed not to disclose their identities to assure trustworthy response. The detailed minutes of stakeholder meeting
are presented in section 3.4.

positive and negative from stakeholders were recorded by the audit team in the auditor’s hand written notes.
In addition, the audit team verified the information against relevant procedures and standard operating
procedures. The procedures relating to stakeholders communication is defined in Standard Operating
Procedures established in September 2009.
2.11 Date of next surveillance visit
The next surveillance visit audit is planned on 11 December 2010. Surveillance audit is conducted once a year
during a 5-year period.
3. ASSESSMENT FINDING
3.1 Summary of findings
Objective evidence was obtained separately for each of the indicators for the mill and the estates.
As mentioned in section 2.2, the objective evidence was obtained during the certification assessment. The information was comprehensively asked in accordance with the RSPO indicators for 1 (one) mill and each of the 5 (five) plantations, and outgrowers/smallholders. The results for each indicator from each of these operational areas have been aggregated to provide an assessment of overall conformance of the Company's operations with each Criterion. A statement is provided for each Indicator to support the findings of the assessment team.
The detailed description of Non-Conformity Report is given in section 3.2.
Nonconformities were raised against One (1) Minor Compliance Indicator and some opportunities for improvement.. Where a nonconformity/observation is assigned, reference is made at the end of the text of the Indicator to which it refers. Details of the Nonconformities are given in Section 3.2 (Pages 26 &27).
SMM has prepared a Corrective Active Plan and the date for its implementation which has been reviewed and accepted by PT. TUVNORD Indonesia. The effectiveness of the implementation of corrective action on next surveillance audit will be checked for minor nonconformity findings.
The audit team has issued this certification assessment in compliance with the implementation within the
criterion of the RSPO principles and criteria with 1 (one) minor non-conformity and some opportunities for
RSPO Certification Assessment – Public Summary Report for PT. Sahabat Mewah dan Makmur (SMM) Page 15
improvements. The major findings should be closed within 60 days. The assessment of SMM management
operations comprise 1 (one) palm oil mill and, 5 (five) oil palm plantations, smallholders, facilities and
infrastructure as well as supporting services. The audit team has conducted the assessment of PT. Sahabat
Mewah dan Makmur operations and concludes SMM complies with requirements of RSPO Principles and
Criteria, and National Interpretation of May 2008. Thus, PT. TUVNORD Indonesia recommends that PT.
Sahabat Mewah dan Makmur, be approved as a producer of RSPO Certified Sustainable Palm Oil.
The following is a summary of findings for the criteria listed in the RSPO Principles & Criteria:
Criterion 1.1
Oil palm growers and millers provide adequate information to other stakeholders on environmental,
social and legal issues relevant to RSPO Criteria, in appropriate languages and forms to allow for
effective participation in decision making.
SMM has established comprehensively a procedure for conducting sufficient communication with
stakeholders. The system requests all heads of mills and heads of plantations to communicate with local
communities and stakeholders as insufficient evidence is found. Copies of requests for information are held in
hard copy files at the General Affairs Department under the control of external relationships manager. The
review of records confirmed that General Affairs Department also stores copies of responses to requests for
information. All information requested by stakeholders is recorded in “Stakeholders Request Log Book”. The
log book is kept well in a suitable room. Retention time of records concerning local community and
stakeholders is for 5 (five) years. The assessor checked the files and confirmed that SMM has responded
appropriately to requests for information in accordance with external communication procedure.
Criterion 1.2
Management documents are publicly available, except where this is prevented by commercial
confidentiality or where disclosure of information would result in negative environmental or social
outcomes.
The management of SMM ensures documents are available upon request and in accordance with Government
regulations. Information on land titles and user rights documents are available to stakeholders. SMM has a
system to monitor and to measure environmental impact and social impact, which is documented in AMDAL
that was approved by local environmental agency of Belitung. RKL/RPL and UKL/UPL documentations and
also HGU are available to the public. All the estates have identified the total land use occupied by SMM and
is well informed and displayed on HGU boards made available at the entrance gate of each estate. The Health
and Safety Plan and Training Program provided to all workers and the local community who also receive a
medical program that is performed every month e.g.; medical checks free for both children living in
employee’s housing complex or children outside of employee’s housing complex. A report also is available
on staff and workers’ voluntary participation in a community service program involving projects such as
fogging, socialization of health and safety, and environmental procedure/or instruction and recent
construction of classrooms for an elementary school located at one of the estates. UPL Monitoring reports are
forwarded six‐monthly to Government. Inspection confirmed copies are available, e.g. most recent report
January–June 2009 and July – December 2009 is in progress. Retention time of records is determined by
SMM based on relative importance, and filed in List of Records.
RSPO Certification Assessment – Public Summary Report for PT. Sahabat Mewah dan Makmur (SMM) Page 16
Criterion 2.1
There is compliance with all applicable local, national and ratified international laws and regulations
SMM management keeps all applicable legislations and other regulations, which are registered in applicable
regulation list, in a manner that the SMM management complies with applicable regulation and which is in
accordance with general procedures of evaluation of legal compliance “PRS-SCL-001”. The Head of mills
and head of plantations have to apply themselves to applicable legal and other requirements including license
and permits based on their activities. The updating of regulations is the responsibility of HSE manager and
team, and monitored consistently.
The Assessor inspected and checked records of legal compliance achievement “DOC-CLS-003 of November
2009. Most of the applicable documents are in compliance with legal and regulation requirements. Otherwise,
remaining applicable legal requirements that are not compliant have been evaluated and still in progress to
meet the requirements not later than November 2010. The continuous improvement program has been
planned to fulfill all the legal requirements. The SMM management has committed to obtain an ISO 14001
certification in 2010 by establishing environment and SM-K3 policy since January 2009, and this is a part of
the commitment of SMM management to implement environmental management system. The HSE manager
is responsible for keeping Estates and Mills operations under national legislation and regulation up to date
with any changes. SMM has documented legal requirements and this includes a list of the legislation,
regulations and licenses, together with a description of the compliance requirements.
Criterion 2.2
The right to use the land can be demonstrated and is not legitimately contested by local communities
with demonstrable rights
Within the operation of SMM management, land use for palm oil is identified and marked by T-0 pillars on
boundaries. GPS coordinates can be seen on the photograph below
Figure 1: Identification of an occupied land by a pillar
The General Affairs Department and the Legal Department are responsible to resolve any conflict over land
acquired. Currently there is no land claimed by the people who live around the mill and plantations. The Mill
Manager and the Plantation Managers have ensured proper registration for the HGU certificate in the
acquired land register list.
RSPO Certification Assessment – Public Summary Report for PT. Sahabat Mewah dan Makmur (SMM) Page 17
Criterion 2.3
Use of land for oil palm does not diminish the legal rights or customary rights of other users, without
their free, prior and informed consent
As observed in the certification assessment of RSPO Principles and Criteria implementation within SMM
operation, there is no customary right of other users.
Criterion 3.1
There is an implemented management plan that aims to achieve long term economic and financial
viability
SMM has 3 years 2010 - 2012 of crop projection that includes key performance data for mill and estates and
has a long term program to attain economic and financial viability of the company. SMM has also a business
plan to increase FFB production capacity in accordance with long term projections. The long term program
includes the long term projected replanting program, long term crop projection, and long term financial
forecast.
The long term replanting program is a 20 year projection of the planted yielding hectare in SMM. The
yielding hectare will vary because palms will be replanted based on the economic lifespan of the palms.
Extremely tall palms and older palms of more than 25 years will be replanted due to difficulty in harvesting,
and the lower density of palms arising from natural death of old palms in the fields. The percentage of palms
replanted in any one year is maintained at below 5% to ensure minimal impact on crop production.
Replanting also has the benefit of better planting materials in terms of yield and general characteristics. SMM
has a replanting program commencing 2016, which will replace the oldest fieldplanted in 1991.
The long term crop projection anticipates higher crop production for the next 20 years. This is based on the
long term replanting program and the actual current and anticipated yields based on the potential of clones
planted.
The long term financial forecast is a 5 year financial projection to work out the anticipated profits taking into
consideration the latest yield estimates, projected CPO prices and projected budgeted operational costs.
Criterion 4.1
Operating Procedures are appropriately documented and consistently implemented and monitored
HSE department, RSPO SMM team and supported by respective departments have prepared and established
Standard Operating Procedures that incorporate best practices for all areas of the mill and plantation
operations. Most of the Standard Operation Procedures are integrated with SM-K3 management system. More
than 15 Standard Operating Procedures on mill operations have been established. The following procedures
are implemented within sustainable palm oil parameters:
a. SOP for Oil Palm (containing aspects from nursery, land preparation, planting, upkeep, harvesting,
waste management, HCV, emergency preparedness and response, and management of hazardous
waste of used agrochemicals).
b. SOP for Palm Oil Mill [containing stages of process, boiler operations, power generation, water
treatment, land application, electrical systems, quality (including monitoring of CPO parameters),
dispatch and laboratory inspection of incoming fresh fruit bunches.
c. Manual and SOP for Health & Safety (SM-K3).
RSPO Certification Assessment – Public Summary Report for PT. Sahabat Mewah dan Makmur (SMM) Page 18
Updated Standard Operating Procedures will be sent to the respective Section Heads of the Mill and
Plantations whenever there are changes or revisions to the SOP’s. The Standard Operating Procedures are
and consistently implemented to monitor FFA parameters and moisture of CPO during processing and before
delivery to end users. Monitoring Records of inspection are kept properly in a laboratory cabinet with proper
identification.
The performance of each mill work station is monitored on a shift basis and recorded daily on a
Production/Record Log sheet. General inspections are carried out monthly and reported to the General
Manager. Quality Inspection records of CPO processing from FFB reception until CPO dispatch were
inspected during the audit it was confirmed that log sheets at mill work stations were filled in accurately and
consistently.
The General Manager and Senior Manager carry out inspections of field conditions and practices. The
Technical Services Department in conjunction with the Estate Managers and HSE Department monitors the
operations and the implementation of Health and Safety initiatives monthly.
Criterion 4.2
Practices maintain soil fertility at, or where possible improve soil fertility, to a level that ensures
optimal and sustained yield
SMM has carried out and made an annual fertilizer application regime as recommended by credible -
internationally proven oil palm research experts from PT. Sarana Inti Pratama (SIP). Foliar samples are taken
from approximately 1% of the palms; samples are taken on each block of 30 Ha at Air Ruak Estate for
division 14, division 15, division 16, division 17 and division 18.The sample is taken from frond number 17
and sent to the laboratory (SIP) to analyze for minor and major nutrient status of elements N, P, K, Ca, Mg,
Zn and B. After due analysis, recommendations are made and SMM will fertilize the blocks as per
recommendations. The soil analysis test is carried out every 7 years.
The soil was analyzed and tested initially in 2003, and the next inspection will be in 2010 as recommended by
the SMM agronomist. The Soil Analysis for SMM is carried out again by an independent and proven oil palm
research institution i.e. PT PP London Sumatra Indonesia Tbk. The results of the soil analysis and the leaf
analysis will be considered to formulate fertilizer recommendations. The SMM agronomist visits annually to
check and to monitor palm growth and vigour, occurrences of pest attacks and diseases and any other
abnormalities.
SMM management monitors the yield performance of all blocks (30 Ha) in SMM using a method of the “red
black monitoring system.” Monthly reports are computed whereby the yields of all blocks are monitored
against the potential site yields of the same cultivar of palms of the same age. Action Plans are drawn up
and monitored monthly.SMM has in place many Best Practices to ensure fertility and sustained yields,
amongst them the planting of legume cover crops (LCC) such as Mucuna brachteata, Calopogonium
caeruleum and Pueraria javanica, and the planting of Nephrolepis in open areas to protect soil erosion
during abnormal rainfall conditions, as well as to add nutrients and to prevent growth of weeds.
Further best practices include; recycling empty fruit bunches and application of palm oil mill effluent to the
fields to optimize organic matter and to fertilize the soil; application of organic fertilizers in marginal areas;
production and application of household waste as compost; construction of contour silt pits in hilly areas to
prevent excessive erosion; construction of aeration drains in hard pan marginal areas; and planting of
Legumes to improve Nitrogen uptake.
RSPO Certification Assessment – Public Summary Report for PT. Sahabat Mewah dan Makmur (SMM) Page 19
Criterion 4.3
Practices minimise and control erosion and degradation of soils
The management of SMM has committed to make efforts to minimize and to control soil degradation at the
plantations.
The general topography of SMM plantations is flat to gently rolling. Approximately 5 % of the planted
hectarage in SMM is of hilly terrain of more than 25 degree slope.
The SMM Management applies certain techniques to reduce soil erosion, especially during land preparation
for replanting/conversion, such as planting LCC (legume cover crops e.g.,: Mucuna brachteata sp),
terracing/platforms, frond stacking, digging burrow pits and windrowing. Erosion monitoring plots were
constructed in some areas in order to get information on the erosion levels based on soil types, slope and
ground covers. This started from the planting or conversion area until the canopy of the palm oil leaves are
touching each other.
The repair of roads like grading, compacting and cambering are carried out to ensure there is no delay in
transporting FFB to the mill. Surface run off is reduced by having a systematic road upkeep and
maintenance program. Total length of road upkeep for all estates within SMM is around 38 Km. Roads are
cambered and graded periodically to ensure proper channeling of rain water.SMM has highly protected
wetlands within the whole areas of the estates. The audit team did not find any wetland within the whole
company owned estates. The strategy for fragile and problem soils such as sandy, low organic matter acid
sulphate soils, have been managed and well monitored as indicated on” the Red Black Explanation Summary”
at Air Ruak Estate.
The various methods implemented to prevent land erosion are as outlined below :
1. Control measures taken in hilly terrain are:
a. Construction of Continuous Silt Pits. These pits are constructed dissecting the water flow and thus
trapping surface run off (Photo 1).
b. Planting Platforms are constructed to lessen leaching losses and surface run off (Photo 2).
c. Fronds cut during pruning or harvesting are placed criss-cross against the slope to slow down or
break water runoff velocity (Photo 3).
d. Cover crops and natural greenery are encouraged and blanket spraying is prohibited in areas prone
to erosion (Photo 4).

2. SMM has conserved hilly areas deemed too steep to plant: some of these areas are in Semalar and Bukit
Sari Bunga. These areas with their natural flora are another indication of SMM’ s concern for the
environment (Picture 5)
3. Vertiver and King grass are planted in culverts, bridges and areas prone to erosion as these grass acts to
bind the soil to prevent erosion (Picture.6,7)

Planting king grass (meter) 7190 3565
Making Silt pit (Ha) 1
Making Contour terracing (Ha) 6.52
Criterion 4.4
Practices maintain the quality and availability of surface and ground water
SMM management has facilitated provision of water in storage tanks that are provided to mill and estates and
employee’s housing. The water for industrial use is supplied from some of the rivers e.g.:Sungai Belas, and
Sungai Balok, and for household/domestic use is from other water sources located in HCV 4.
The SMM management policy is to maintain the water sources as HCV 4; protect the existing riparian strips
as stated in their procedure for riparian strips; a 50m wide buffer zone has been maintained along
Sungai Belas, the main river that runs through the estates. The SMM management policy also states that the
use of herbicide is prohibited along the buffer zone area. There are monitoring systems along riparian buffer
zones to protect the area from erosion and degradation of water quality.
However, this criterion is not effectively implemented to manage water resources. The daily data is missing to
monitor accurately water for daily consumption. Most of the water usage is for the purpose of cleaning dirty
areas in the mills and water consumption for the employees housing complex. Therefore, minor indicator as
nonconformity issued. See Non-Conformity Report T01.12/09.
Criterion 4.5
Pests, diseases, weeds and invasive introduced species are effectively managed using appropriate
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques
SMM has identified and documented an Integrated Management System Program (2009) on “Conservation
Report and Activity”. The main pests attacking the oil palms in the plantations are leaf eating insects and rats
that eat the palm fruits. Plantation Manager assigned a pest engineer (from head office quality assurance,
SMM group) to monitor regularly the population of pests at each estate,e.g.: At Ladang Jaya estate, a method
known as early warning census has been initiated. The IPM techniques and natural control were noted on all
plantations inspected. Monitoring of the quantity of herbicides used is recorded in each of the plantations
and displayed by the plantation manager.
Uncontrolled usage of herbicide can severely endanger health of spray operators, and also damage the palm
fruits from LD 50 toxicity. The LD 50 criterion was observed for all plantation activities. Information
pertaining to monitoring the usage of chemicals based on LD 50 of per tonne of FFB was implemented to
indicate that a reduction in usage and the influence of the LD 50 are progressively implemented . Record of
monitoring using the affected LD 50 of per tonne FFB was inspected and shown (2009) in the “Monitoring of
Attacks by Pests Report No. 16/QA/XI/2009”.
SMM management also cultivates beneficial weeds to reduce the use of chemicals in controlling pests, such
as Turnera subulata (bunga pukul delapan)over 1600 Ha, Antigonon leptopus (air mata pengantin)planted
over 90 ha,and Cassia cobanersis over 30 Ha at Division 4 – Division 7. SSM had also been promoting the
RSPO Certification Assessment – Public Summary Report for PT. Sahabat Mewah dan Makmur (SMM) Page 23
barn owl (burung hantu) as one of its IPM practices to control the rat attacks. Recent census data at Ladang
Jaya estate, revealed the total number of barn owls (burung hantu) Tyto alba in the estate is approximately
52 (fifty two) couples.
Criterion 4.6
Agrochemicals are used in a way that does not endanger health or the environment. There is no
prophylactic use of pesticides, except in specific situations identified in national Best Practice
guidelines. Where agrochemicals are used that are categorised by the World Health Organization as
Types 1 A or 1 B, or are listed by the Stockholm or Rotterdam Conventions, growers are actively
seeking to identify alternatives and this is documented
SMM Management documents its policy on the wearing of PPE while using agro-chemicals, in SOP – Guide
to the Safe Use of Pesticides. The SOP lists the justification of chemicals use, the conditions and application
rates for individual chemicals ,information and requirements on storage safety precautions, solution
preparation and application, pesticide waste disposal, first aid and a list of pesticides allowed by the
regulations. The Auditor confirmed that agrochemicals used are in accordance with relevant SOP, applied by
trained personnel, stored in secured area and empty containers were disposed in B3 (hazardous and toxic
material) waste warehouse area before removal by a licensed contractor. All the records are well maintained.
There is regular medical checkup for workers who apply agrochemicals.
Criterion 4.7
An occupational health and safety plan is documented, effectively communicated and implemented
The SMM management has established a safety, health and environment policy and it is comprehensively
implemented. Explanation and communication of the policy is the responsibility of the safety engineer (SM-
P2K3). The policy is available at the mills and the plantations; and communicated to all subcontractors. A
safety engineer monitors and inspects all facilities in the mill operations relating to emergency conditions on
a daily basis. Records of mill operations and facilities are kept properly, identified and retrievable in the
safety engineer’s room. If there is an accident in the mill caused by the workers violating a working procedure
or other instructions, an investigation of the accident is conducted and the findings forwarded to the mill
manager for inclusion in the agenda of the Safety Meeting. The Auditor found the implementation of the
Occupational Health and Safety Plan as acceptable.
Criterion 4.8
All staff, workers, smallholders and contractors are appropriately trained
Mill managers and Plantation managers identify training needs for safety training program annually for
workers especially chemical sprayer operators. Some contractors are included in training programs in respect
of safety concerns conducted by safety engineers. The small holders have received training in emergency
procedures. Evaluation of training effectiveness is conducted regularly to ensure all staffs and workers are
updated with sufficient training. All training records were checked. during audit.
Criterion 5.1
Aspects of plantation and mill management, including replanting, that have environmental impacts are
identified, and plans to mitigate the negative impacts and promote the positive ones are made,
implemented and monitored, to demonstrate continuous improvement
Identification of aspects of plantation, mill management and replanting that have environmental impacts are
in place and monitoring of plans to mitigate environmental impacts were satisfactory. Assessment is also
carried out in environmental management efforts and environmental monitoring efforts (UKL/UPL).SMM
RSPO Certification Assessment – Public Summary Report for PT. Sahabat Mewah dan Makmur (SMM) Page 24
has documented environmental impact assessment as a part of environmental management system and is
committed to obtain an ISO 14001 certification in 2010. Six- monthly reports of UKL/UPL are submitted to
Bapedalda (local environmental controlling body). A documented procedure has been established to revise
environmental documentation if there is any change in company activities.
Criterion 5.2
The status of rare, threatened or endangered species and high conservation value habitats, if any, that
exist in the plantation or that could be affected by plantation or mill management, shall be identified
and their conservation taken into account in management plans and operations.
The SPO management has prepared and developed all information on HCV including for flora and fauna in
preparation for the certification. The flora and fauna are comprehensively identified in “Executive Summary
of High Conservation Value Report 2009”. The HCV areas are recognized with HCV 4.1, 4.2, and 6, with
most of HCV available in all the plantations. The HCV areas at the field level are well identified with
sufficient signboards.
Criterion 5.3
Waste is reduced, recycled, re-used and disposed of in an environmentally and socially responsible
manner
Suitable methods are established such as environmental aspects identification and environmental impacts
assessment to control all sources of significant environmental impact including management of wastes. The
wastes of used agrochemical jars are disposed in a chemical store permanent area which is kept away from
rain. Prior to being stored in the chemical permanent area, the wastes are crushed in a manner so as not to be
re-used. Some wastes have economical values for metal scraps generated from workshop waste. Most of
metal scraps were sold to recycling outlets. In addition, the EFB wastes are used as composting for several
plantations and it is well implemented. Discharge of liquid wastes to waste treatment plant for BOD, COD
and pH are regularly measured to ensure that the parameters are under control in accordance with waste water
regulations.
Criterion 5.4
Efficiency of energy use and use of renewable energy is maximized
SMM management applies the efficiency program for energy, which is known as the renewable energy
program. Boilers use fibre and palm kernel shell as fuel (environmentally friendly) to heat water in boilers to
generate high pressure steam. High pressure steam drives turbines connected to generators to produce
electricity. The electricity generated meets the electricity needs of the factory, employee housing, public
facilities, schools, places of worship, etc.This is SMM management’s commitment to reduce consumption of
fossil fuel.
Criterion 5.5
Use of fire for waste disposal and for preparing land for replanting is avoided except in specific
situations, as identified in the ASEAN guidelines or other regional best practices
The whole SMM management and staffs have high commitment to a zero burning policy. This zero burning
policy is fully supported by the managing director of the SMM management. The audit team has checked to
confirm zero burning policy on the whole of the SPO management is well implemented. The wastes that are
generated by mill and plantations activities are treated properly within the SPO management operation.

3.3 Noteworthy positive components
SMM maintains a 100 M strip from the river as a reserve for conservation. The management of
SMM is highly committed to environmental regulations and have adopted a zero burning policy for
the prevention of fire in the plantations. Fire fighting facilities and equipment are provided for the fire
brigade team, and are always available together with water tank vehicles in response to any land
burning.
High Conservation Value identified and protected in all the estates. The RSPO management unit of
SMM has set a high priority on protection of all HCVs within the whole plantation and other locations
that have been identified,. Protection of the HCVs are clearly identified in Executive summary 2009
with identification and analysis of high conservation value (NKT), and the management and monitoring
for areas of value for high conservation (KBKT) as reference. The identification of HCV areas was
observed by an independent environmental group i.e. Focus Consulting Group (FCG) - Jakarta.
Organic wastes and land application: Empty fruit bunches were placed in palm plantations in such a
manner to enhance the organic matter and quality of the soil. Effluent from waste treatment plant is
discharged to the plantation as land applications; minimizing the use of chemicals. SMM is committed
to reducing use of chemicals and spraying of chemicals is vigilantly monitored;
The SMM’s IPM program has resulted in the reduction of chemicals use for pest control (rat control).
The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) population has been built up to a level where it now provides effective
control of rats. and reduction on the use of rodenticides.
RSPO Certification Assessment – Public Summary Report for PT. Sahabat Mewah dan Makmur (SMM) Page 31
Figure - 1: Pest control – The Barn Owl on the leaf of palm oil plantation
Estate managers allow every family to have vegetable gardens at the rear of their houses provided they
are kept neat and tidy. This is beneficial to the workers as it supplements family income and contributes
to family health.
The mill and the estates have documented safety guidelines and SOP’s as well as safety monitoring in
accordance with SM-K3 implementation. There is a Zero accident program in all areas of the estates and
mill. This commitment to zero accident has been communicated and explained to stakeholders.
The RSPO team of SMM management has set high priority on environment impact assessments and
provides sufficient training to increase awareness. The environment monitoring programs established
to monitor boiler emission, FFB transportation emission, and power generation by generator-set
operations help in developing sustainable management systems to meet with RSPO Principles and
Criteria.
The role of RSPO team of SMM management will be more effective when consideration is given by
SMM to Green House Gases (GHG) for CDM program. A CDM program is currently being prepared to
replace consumption of diesel fuel with biogas (methane capture) to run a generator to generate
electricity. There is also Biomass Gasification renewable energy initiative without CDM.
The management of SMM provides fresh water for employees’ housing complex. The water is sourced
from Sungai Lenggang (Lenggang River) and supplied to employees after purification. The facility was
installed for the employees as part of the company’s commitment to safety and health of employees and
the local community. Figure 3 below shows the water purifier installation.
Figure – 2: Water purifier installation and storage tank
Kindergarten yard is provided in all estates as playground for children who use it after school and
during holidays. The play yard for children is very clean and safe from emissions from vehicles, and
noise and dust pollution. Figure 4 below is the best kindergarten yard in Sari Bunga Estate.

Figure – 3: Kindergarten yard for children
3.3.1 Some Recommendations for Improvement to the Mill and Estates:
1. Polyclinics in the estates should clearly provide expiry dates on drugs. Some expired dugs have even
been found on the floor and should be disposed in accordance with the regulations.. The Maternity
Room (Ruang Kebidanan) should be clean and tidy. The condition of Blood Pressure Equipment
should be checked properly. The recommendation is to monitor these, including expiry date of drugs,
and to dispose of expired drugs to avoid usage. There should also be periodical checks on the condition
of all equipment.
2. Efficiency calculation of Genset 63KVA and 15 KVA should mention the average - load per month
(KVA) instead of just Lt/Hours. The data of average-load per month (KVA) must be monitored and
recorded.
3. The procedure, SOP-OPR-023 Rev.01 to be revised to record accurately the use of agrochemicals and
use/disposal of agrochemical containers.
4. Mapping of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) should indicate clearly areas of activities and should
include mapping of details of actual IPM projects in all estates.
5. Safety signs and posters should be available on all access roads to estates and the mill. Signs should also
be available to indicate areas where animal crossings occur to prevent accidents.
Speed limit signboards shall be erected at roadsides and speed breakers constructed in areas where
speeding occurs to prevent accidents.
6. The temporary hut for fuel, used oil, used small parts located in the middle of palm plantation, should
also provide for oil spill containment. SMM must erect proper secondary containment in all sheds
where generator sets (gen-sets) are housed.
7. The noise from generator sets operations in employees housing area has the potential of impairing the
hearing of residents in the housing areas. Information on noise levels of generator set operations is not
available. It is recommended to measure noise levels so that noise mufflers can be used to reduce
excessive noise levels.
8. Chimney smoke from exhausts of generator sets is ejected from a horizontal position. This is very
unsafe for children who may be playing around the gen-set houses, and may affect their breathing,
particularly in the future. The exhaust pipes of gen sets are to be repositioned to ensure that the exhaust
gasses are diverted upwards.
.
