持続可能な森林管理方針(SFMP)2.0は2015年に制定され、APRILグループの重要な方針であり続けています。この方針は、持続可能な森林管理の実践と事業運営に関するAPRILグループのコミットメントを詳述しています。SFMP 2.0は、APRILグループの事業、現在および将来の原料サプライヤー、将来の買収や提携に適用されます。APRILグループのSFMP2.0の実施を監視し透明性を提供し、進捗状況の独立した検証を監督するために、独立した林業および社会の専門家からなるステークホルダー諮問委員会(SAC)が2014年に設立されました。

2014年、APRILグループのSFMP2.0コミットメントの実施を追跡するため、独立したステークホルダー諮問委員会(SAC)の意見を取り入れ、APRILグループが44のSFMP2.0パフォーマンス指標を開発し、コミットメントの実施における進捗状況を定量的に示すことができました。指標の開発プロセスには、国内外の他のステークホルダーからの意見も含まれています。

SACは、独立検証監査人であるKPMG Performance Registrar Inc. (KPMG PRI)を任命し、APRILグループがSFMP2.0のパフォーマンス指標に関連して提示したパフォーマンス指標の実施と進捗を評価する特定保証手続を実施しました。この年次保証の結果および結論は、APRILサステナビリティ・ダッシュボード(SFMP2.0保証レポート)で公開されています。2015年以降、8つの独立した保証報告書が発行されています。

その後、SACの承認や社内外のステークホルダーとの協議を経て、APRILグループはSFMP 2.0にいくつかの追記を行ってきました。SFMP2.0のパフォーマンス指標も、不適合(NC)や改善の機会(OFI)に対する是正措置の実施に伴い、定期的に改訂・更新されています(図1参照)。

2022年6月、ジャカルタとスマトラ島リアウ州のパンカラン・ケリンチでのステークホルダー・ミーティングの後、SACは、APRILグループが業界のベストプラクティスと組織の変化に対応し続けるためには、SFMP2.0の指標を包括的に見直す必要があることを示唆しました。KPMG PRI、APRILグループ、SACのメンバーからなるワーキンググループは、過去のKPMG保証の結果やSACのステークホルダーフォーラムで提起された事項を考慮しながら、44のパフォーマンス指標を見直すことを命じられました。

2022年12月の会合で、保証指標に関する包括的な見直しの結果と提言がSACに提示されました。要約すると、指標レビューでは以下のように提案されています:

  • 19の指標を毎年評価し、フルサイクルとパーシャルサイクルに置き換えること;
  • 19の指標は、SFMP2.0の9つのトピックすべてと、4つの補遺のうち2つをカバーすること;

いくつかの指標は統合されました。13の指標はもはや高リスクではないと判断され、完全に削除されました。

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.

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

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.
