Mark Rushton, editor, Pulp & Paper International Magazine, RISI interviewed Aida Greenbury, director of sustainability and stakeholder engagement at APP Indonesia about the company’s bad environmental reputation and how it plans to address it.
Some highlights from Greenbury’s comments during the interview include:
- APP Indonesia has made mistakes because of their relative inexperience in the paper industry compared to the North American and European mills, which also likely made mistakes when they first started.
- APP Indonesia is continually improving its environmental practices by way of certification and supply chain management.
- Around 30 percent of its wood comes from certified sources (Eco Labeling Institute of Indonesia and PEFC), 40 percent comes from legal origin and 30 percent is in the form of recycled paper.
