アリトナン社長は言います:『当社の事業活動は従来から当社コアビジネス・ビジョン=5Cに沿っています。5Cとは、コミュニティ(Community)、国(Country)、気候(Climate)、顧客(Customer)そして企業(Company)の5者全てにとって良い方法で事業展開するという原則です。しかし、持続可能な開発目標の重要性は、当社ビジョンと、193か国が支持するグローバル開発枠組みとを整合させることにあります。すなわち、事業活動にこの枠組みを組み入れ一体化させることです』

『この度の受賞は、当社が一企業として、企業戦略と地方・国内・グローバル優先事項への当社の寄与を結び付け、実際に当社が影響力を発揮可能な現場での活動として実践していることが認められたことであり、喜ばしいことと思います。』

SBAは、IBCSDと専門的サービス企業PwCとのパートナーにおけるグローバル・イニシアチブで設置されました。狙いは、優れた持続可能なビジネス活動への意識を高め、責任ある持続可能なビジネスが企業、環境そして全てのステークホルダーにとって利益となることを実証することです。

今回の受賞は、エイプリル社とPwCとの合同による活動――SDGに照らした企業の社会・環境・経済的な貢献に関するベンチマーク作成――が評価されたものです。ベンチマークは最終的に、企業の意思決定、戦略およびプログラムの指針となり、事業展開する分野における持続可能な開発の推進に一助となります。この活動において、エイプリル社は、インドネシアの国・州・コミュニティレベルの優先的SDGの達成への貢献度を高めることを狙いとしています。

インドネシア持続可能な開発ビジネス会議のシンタ・カムダニ委員長は、次のように説明します:『民間セクターは、インドネシアの持続可能な開発のサポートに非常に重要な役割を担っています。IBCDSDの役目は、多様な業種の企業との協働により、持続可能性コミットメントの自社事業への組み込みを奨励することです。』

カムダニ委員長は続けて、『SBA賞は、エイプリルグループをはじめとしてインドネシアで事業展開する企業の多くが、 持続可能な開発 という命題や国連SDGのコンテクストにおいてパフォーマンス改善を特に重視していることの証です』と語ります。

エイプリル社は現在はPwCとの協働で活動していますが、以前はTanoto財団がUNDPおよびリアウ州政府と合同で、地方レベルにおけるSDG実施のガバナンス枠組み構築を進めました。2015年10月から2017年2月にかけてリアウ州で実施されたマルチパートナーによるパイロットプログラムでは、SDGが国の下位レベルの開発戦略&計画に組み込まれました。

Method

Waste disposed is recorded through various means of measurement including estimation of weight by waste type. Particular waste types as described above are measured as a wet waste and converted to a bone dry (BD) weight. The wet waste weight is multiplied by the consistency of each waste type to determine the BD. The consistency is predetermined by the lab.

Method

APRIL follows the international GHG protocol as developed by WRI/WBCSD to develop its emissions profile. The total emissions measured as emissions intensity is calculated based on tonnes of Scope 1 and 2 Mill Greenhouse Gas Emissions per tonne of product (paper, pulp and viscose). The emissions boundary scope covers gate-to-gate (wood processing in wood yard until pulp, paper and viscose production) of the three main GHGs: CO2, CH4, and N2O.

Baseline
0.55 tCO2e/product tonne

Method

To quantify the total GHG emission and removals across APRIL’s land bank from land use, APRIL follows the GHG Protocol Agricultural Guidance and IPCC Guidelines for Agricultural, Forestry, and Other Land Use. To detect the land cover change within the look-back period, i.e. 20 years APRIL utilized the remotely sensed data.

The GHG emission will be calculated as the total of carbon stock changes in woody biomass and soil organic carbon and include all major carbon fluxes such as peat decomposition, plantation growth and harvesting, and fires.

To quantify the amount of carbon unit to balance the emission, the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards (CCB), or other internationally accepted standard will be used.
