Findings on the effectiveness of SFMP 2.0 implementation, which help frame recommendations for continued improvements, are publicly reported annually along with APRIL\u2019s Action Plans to address these.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, KPMG produced a full assurance report wherein 45 Indicators were reviewed. In 2019, KPMG will produce an Interim Assurance Report and will review a subset of 10 Indicators. These indicators were identified as the highest priority based on the degree of potential risk of non conformance, consultation with the SAC and priorities identified by stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>The 10 indicators selected for review are:<br \/>\n\u2022 Number of hectares developed by category (Forested, Non-Forested and HCV\/HCS and non-HCV\/HCS).<br \/>\n\u2022 Number of PT RAPP and supplier non-compliant new developments detected and the % of non-compliances resulting in corrective action.<br \/>\n\u2022 Number of tonnes of mixed hardwood (MHW) deliveries utilized by the Kerinci mill.<br \/>\n\u2022 Hectares and % of conservation and restoration area impacted by fire, development or encroachment.<br \/>\n\u2022 Contribution to local GDP.<br \/>\n\u2022 Hectares of APRIL and supplier concessions currently inactive due to unresolved land disputes.<br \/>\n\u2022 Percentage of grievances resolved in accordance with the grievance SOP.<br \/>\n\u2022 Grievance resolution mechanism in place for labour concerns raised by APRIL or supplier employees and contractors.<br \/>\n\u2022 Status of SAC Recommendations.<br \/>\n\u2022 Percentage of new suppliers for which the supplier due diligence process was completed prior to the first wood delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to finalizing KPMG\u2019s assurance process, we would welcome inputs from stakeholders.
