Landscape Programs

Many of the challenges in the palm oil supply chain, such as deforestation and human rights concerns, are not specific to a single mill or to the palm sector alone. These issues often are common within a region and across commodities. Therefore, to drive meaningful change, Cargill is focusing on supplier engagement not only at the mill level, but also through interventions more broadly at the landscape level, especially in high-priority landscapes. Shared action is needed to tackle persistent, complex social and environmental risks involving multiple mills, growers, buyers and other stakeholders. We recognize that engagement of public institutions is critical to enforce systemic change.

To address these common environmental, land and labor issues, Cargill is joining together pre-competitively in multi-stakeholder industry programs focused on landscape-level interventions. For example, Cargill is one of seven palm oil purchasing and consumer goods companies participating in a collaboration with local government, NGOs, producers and smallholders to achieve sustainable land use in the Siak and Pelalawan districts of Indonesia. Together, we are building on existing efforts to develop scalable solutions, pilot sustainable approaches, support local organizations, improve smallholder livelihoods and share lessons learned with other landscape initiatives. Learn more about this landscape program.

In addition to the landscape program in Siak and Pelalawan, we are pursuing landscape programs in other areas of Sumatra and West Kalimantan, including Ketapang. In Latin America, we have launched a landscape program to scale up NDPE implementation in Colombia’s Lebrija River Basin and one of its subbasins.
