Partnerships for Goals
Partnerships for Goals
At REA, we believe that addressing global issues requires shared responsibility and collective action. We combine diverse expertise and resources by partnering with governments, NGOs, academic institutions, and local communities to create sustainable solutions. Our partnerships aim to safeguard crucial ecosystems, support smallholders, and improve communities' livelihoods. We strive to inspire innovation, foster inclusivity, and make meaningful strides towards a more sustainable and fair future.
Landscape-Level Approaches
In order to promote sustainable development and forest conservation, we collaborate with a diverse group of partners, including local and regional governments, universities, research institutes, NGOs, and local communities. These collaborations enable us to comply with traceability regulations like the EUDR, while also fostering local development and encouraging responsible environmental practices.
Key initiatives under our landscape-level approach include:
Together with NGO Plan B and local communities, we conduct participatory spatial analyses in eight villages (Buluq Sen, Kelekat, Long Beleh Modang, Long Beleh Haloq, Muai, Muara Ritan, Kembang Janggut, Pulau Pinang, and Perdana). These efforts aim to improve land governance, mitigate deforestation risks, and support provincial spatial planning that balances forest protection with the needs of community development.
Our subsidiary, CDM, leads a multi-stakeholder initiative to conserve the Me Sangat-Suwi Wetland in East Kutai. Under regional decree No. 660/K.390/2023, this wetland is designated as a protected area for animal migration. A comprehensive 2024–2028 management action plan has been developed to guide conservation efforts.
- We work with the Indonesian plantation department and local government to support independent smallholders in adopting sustainable GAps. To date, we have supported 61 smallholders in achieving RSPO and ISPO certifications.
- SHINES: The SHINES programme is a customised initiative designed to support smallholders by offering training on evolving standards such as the EUDR while promoting forest conservation. For more information, read here.
