Sustainability

We are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment and our community.

At Wanstor, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment and our community. As a Carbon Positive Business, we are committed to offsetting our carbon footprint and supporting initiatives that protect biodiversity and promote sustainability.

 

Climate Positive Initiatives

We are proud to be a Climate Positive Business through our partnership with Earthly. So far, we have balanced 577.00 tonnes of carbon, while protecting biodiversity and supporting local communities. Our efforts include:

  • Carbon Offsetting: We are offsetting our carbon emissions by supporting the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve Project. This project protects one of the most highly endangered ecosystems in the world, preventing the conversion of carbon-rich peatland forests into palm oil estates and avoiding over 100 million tonnes of carbon emissions.
  • Biodiversity Protection: The Rimba Raya project safeguards rich biodiversity, including 65 endangered animal and plant species, and works with local communities to achieve all 17 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  • Community Support: We are committed to improving jobs, education, equality, water, food, and energy supply for local communities.

Why We Love This Project

The Rimba Raya project is working towards the SDVista Standard, proactively targeting and monitoring the SDGs with local communities. The reserve acts as a buffer zone protecting the integrity of the adjacent Tanjung Puting National Park, home to wild orangutans. Peatlands, which are an underrepresented ecosystem in carbon markets, play a crucial role in reducing floods, drought, and wildfire.

Commitment to Sustainability

Sustainability is central to our operations. We minimise environmental impact, promote social responsibility, and support community initiatives to create a sustainable future.
