MP Evans CEO outlines ambitious ESG journey; discusses 2023 report highlights

--News Direct--

MP Evans Group PLC Matthew Coulson discusses the company's 2023 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report, which encompasses data and progress spanning from 2021 to 2023.

In an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, Coulson said the report is a testament to the company's commitment to sustainability and transparency within its Indonesian palm oil operations.

A significant highlight from the report is MP Evans' ongoing efforts towards carbon reduction, a journey bolstered by the internalisation of their production processes. With six palm oil mills now under their management, the company has enhanced its production efficiency, directly contributing to its carbon footprint reduction.

Coulson shared the company's ambitious goal of achieving net-zero status by 2050, alongside setting interim targets for 2030 to monitor and ensure progress towards this long-term objective. The importance of ESG disclosure, as Coulson notes, stems from the growing interest of stakeholders, including shareholders, in sustainable practices.

This transparency not only meets regulatory requirements but also exceeds them, reinforcing MP Evans Group's role as a responsible entity in the industry. Community engagement forms a critical aspect of the company's ESG efforts. With over 12,000 employees in Indonesia and a broader community living on their estates, Coulson said MP Evans is dedicated to improving living standards through high-quality housing, healthcare, education, and recreational facilities.

Additionally, the company extends its sustainability ethos to its network of independent suppliers and smallholders, ensuring that they too can meet their sustainability goals.
