Jaya Tiasa Group (“The Group”) remains committed to its vision of being Malaysia’s acclaimed enterprise in sustainable palm oil and wood based industry. Our sustainability framework remains focused on the three pillars of sustainability – Economic, Environment and Social (“EES”) as we incorporate Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) considerations in our business operations and include definitive ESG performance and accountability in how we measure and disclose the Group’s performance. A testament to this are the several initiatives established to manage our commitment towards sustainability.
To achieve its vision, the Group strives to address and manage the following ESG matters:
The scope of the sustainability framework encompasses the Group’s oil palm plantation operations, palm oil mill operations and timber operations, and the things that are most material to both our organization and stakeholders.
As a responsible industry player towards sustainable growth for the future, the Group is committed to ensuring all our business operations are aligned to the ESG principles.

With our strong commitment towards sustainable development, we have performed a review and evaluated on how our diverse businesses can contribute to SDGs and have since prioritized nine SDGs that are considered most relevant to the Group and incorporated them into our Sustainability Framework which consists of the four key issues: Economic, Environment, Social and Governance
