Golden Agri cuts emissions by 4.6% in 2025

The agribusiness also expanded its use of renewable energy, supply chain traceability, and support for smallholders.

Golden Agri-Resources (GAR) reduced its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 4.6% YoY in 2025.

This marks the first full year of progress under its Collective for Impact sustainability framework. The framework focuses on three areas: Responsible Sourcing, Caring for Our Planet, and Empowering People.

Renewable energy accounted for 54% of GAR’s total energy consumption in 2025, whilst more than 90% of its upstream operations were powered by biomass from plantation waste.

GAR also reduced its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 3.6% during the year through investments in three new methane capture plants, increased biomass energy use, and renewable infrastructure.

On supply chain transparency, GAR achieved 100% traceability to the mill for non-palm commodities under its Responsible Agri-Commodity Sourcing Policy.

The company also reached 100% “delivering” status for Indonesian palm sourcing under the NDPE Implementation Reporting Framework V5.8. Under the updated IRF V6.0 methodology, introduced in January 2026, GAR is at 82.6% “delivering” and said it remains on track toward its 2030 target.

GAR expanded its smallholder support in 2025, reaching more than 11,000 independent smallholders through its Sawit Terampil programme. The company is working toward a 2035 target of supporting 100,000 smallholders.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
