Progress

This is the page where we track how far we have come to-date in achieving transparency and transformation in our supply chains. Click below to see our progress against each of our four major commitments, or go directly to our concession maps or our grievance page.

Responsible Development
Socfin has pledged, for all its operations, to eliminate deforestation and exploitation. This means Socfin is committed not to develop any greenfields until a full assessment of High Carbon Stock and High Conservation Value land is completed and approved; it will also respect the rights of indigenous populations and local communities to give or withhold free, prior informed consent to operations affecting their land and resources.

Best Management Practice
Implementing best environmental and social management practices will ensure the effects of Socfin's efforts will last long in the future. Socfin commits to complying with local and international laws and regulations, to minimising its environmental impacts, facilitating the inclusion of smallholders in its supply chains, ensuring fair and transparent price negotiations, and to constantly improving its practices.


Respect Human Rights
As all the operations have a direct and indirect effect on people, individuals and communities, it is important to the Socfin Group to recognise and respect their rights. Socfin is committed to respecting and supporting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and recognising and respecting the rights of all workers (including temporary and migrant workers and subcontractors) as well as of of local and indigenous communities.

Transparency
Sharing the Socfin Groups plan, actions and progress with its stakeholders is both a goal and a means of achieving other goals. Transparency gives Socfin commitments weight and facilitates continuous improvement. As a part of this, Socfin will achieve 100% traceability to its raw materials suppliers, implement an open and transparent grievance management mechanism, and report its progress publicly. View

How we work with TFT

In January 2017 Socfin entered a partnership with TFT to support the implementation of its Responsible Management Policy, which was published in December 2016.

Together, Socfin and TFT are collaborating to find practical solutions to the sustainability challenges in our operations. TFT also assists us in capacity building of our sustainability team, field visits, stakeholder engagement and public reporting. As a TFT member, Socfin sees TFT as a partner with whom we are exploring ways of bringing meaningful and pragmatic solutions to achieve sustainability in agro-industry.
