5 Certification Assessment

5.1 Stage 1 Audit - Stage 1 audit has been carried out on November 2017 at SOP Plantations (Beluru) Sdn

Bhd. Main Office.

5.2 Surveillance Audit Surveillance audit was conducted on 26 - 28/11/2018 with total 7 man-days was allocated according

to MSPO Certification Procedure.

The audit has been executed by the auditors as listed in section 2.3 of this audit report.

5.2.1 Management Commitment and Responsibility, Transparency, Legal Compliance.

Sarawak Oil Palms Berhad (Tinbarap Unit) has achieved its second year certification after successfully

undergone MSPO Certification of Surveillance 1 Audit in November 2o18. The management has showed

great support to ensure that the documentations and operationwise follow the principle and criteria of

MSPO and the staff and employees have worked hand in hand with the Sustainable team.

Internal Audit and Management Review were effectively conducted as per scheduled and various issues

of non conformities and observations issued for corrective actions have been successfully closed. The

management has reviewed and discussed the findings for the ground implementation by the Managers.

Some pertinent findings from the internal audits could be highlighted in the Continuous Improvement Plan

for continuous action and development.

Assessment of the stakeholders relationship with the estate management during the audit was cordial and

harmonious as the communication and consultation with each other was on a high level of understanding.

Traceability was effectively addressed by keeping records of sales and delivery of FFB with the

corresponding bin and delivery tickets for every consignment.

The management of legals has been demonstrated well as the Legal Register was updated and

compliance has been advocated in most areas.

5.3.2 Social Responsibility, Occupational Safety & Health and Employment Condition

Socially the management has played a good role by providing all that it can to ensure good relationship

is maintained. Systematic avenues and opportunity were provided by the management for employees to

lodge complaints with the corresponding speedy management settlement.

Generally the conditions in the workers quarters were in order with some exceptions to the housekeeping

at the rear of the houses where it was very grassy though it was inspected monthly. It must be rest assured

that that the cleanliness, health and hygiene of the quarters and its surroundings are kept cleaned

especially the drainage system, the sewage system, compounds and the regular disposal of domestic

waste, eradication of mosquito breeding areas, etc.

The current risk assessment and control has been well established and documented by the

management however there is much more that the estate team members has to be aware with regards

to safety and health especially the number of stray dogs which were found wandering around in the

workers quarters compounds and also the fields. Not forgetting the spraying technique using the long

lance and spraying at height will be appreciated if the management will consider relooking into the

matter for improvement.

Page 14 of 28 AUDIT RPT AA2 TINBARAP EST-2018 (1) All aspects of the audit are considered confidential (Rev 03)

The Standard Operating Procedure for handling of chemicals ensuring proper and safe handling and

storage in accordance to Occupational Safety Health (Classification Packaging and Labeling) Regulation

1997 and Occupational Safety Health (Use and Standard of Exposure of Chemical Hazardous to Health)

Regulation 2000has been well established by the management not only by documentations but also the

commendable implementation and management of the chemical store, triple rinsing area, chemical

premixing area, designated bathrooms for sprayers, eye wash and shower, etc.

There is less that the management could do now but to focus on the safety and health training

to ensure all employees are well equipped with safety knowledge and awareness.

5.3.3 Environment, Natural Resources, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

The management has established Environmental Management and Improvement Plan which involves in

the registering and identifying Aspect and Impact Analysis of all operations. These aspects and impact

identified shall be assessed, monitored and the outcome will be controlled. Assessment in the Aspect and

Impact which includes the operational, facilities, Human Resources, Social, Environmental (Protection of

endangered/protected animals), internal stakeholders awareness and monitoring of energy, maintaining

water quality, minimize water usage, domestic waste management and minimizing gaseous emission.

Stray dogs were found all over the housing and the office complex and this should be taken as a point to

ponder, if not will be neglected as stray dogs could posed serious disease as rabies to people if not

assessed.

It is in the best interest of all that environmental meetings be promoted amongst the Stakeholders and the

local communities to have constant harmonious relation with the management and to deliberate or

exchange information pertaining to the wellbeing of the environment.

The management has identified all waste generated, its storage and disposal methods. However there

still areas where improvement could be made in the reduction of pollution by recycling and segregation of

plastic bottles, scrap metal, papers, oil filters, batteries. etc.. It shall be appreciated if the management

could manage their Schedule Waste store more effectively in accordance with the 5S concept and should

be clean and neat, spick and span. As for domestic waste, they were collected periodically and disposed

in the proper landfil provided by the management but the waste were not completely buried opened for

stray dogs and other animals to litter the area and other areas. There was no evidence of an oil sump

constructed in the workshop and the schedule waste store which could render soil and water

contamination. No proper labelling of schedule waste was seen.

Good water management was advocated by the management by having own water treatment with trained

operator and water was frequently analyzed by a professional water company. All measures should be

taken by the management to ensure that their quality and availability be prioritized eg. that zero or no

water is wasted through overflowing or broken piping. Good water usage monitoring by the estate but will

be further enhanced if the monthly usage be bench marked to denote the under or over usage of the

water.

With all these environmental issues being assessed and analyzed indiscriminately, there will be nothing

that the management can do but will expect good and clean environment in total.

Page 15 of 28 AUDIT RPT AA2 TINBARAP EST-2018 (1) All aspects of the audit are considered confidential (Rev 03)

Best Practices

The standard operating procedure or manuals for all the related operation in the fields and the annual

budget document act as tool for the correct practice that the policy warrants and financial monitoring

could be done at ease. The fields were generally acceptable except for the overgrown VOPs which were

not attended.

The flat plain terrain of Tinbarap dorminated by the 100% peaty soil will require management focus to

ensure the management of fields waters are consistently regulated to ensure its freshness in the fields.

Management of weeds especially the VOPs should be looked into to avoid overlooking by staff and

become overgrown. The palms appeared overpruned as most were only with 1 frond below the lowest

bunch and signs have showed that the palms become smaller with low ABW. The contract of work or

agreements with the Contractors were found in order and in compliance with the MSPO requirements.

Though the company is running for the second year of the MSPO certification, it was very clear that their

achievement for this Advancement Assessment 1 was satisfactory. With only 3 NCs and 12 OFIs, it will

be a challenge to the management to ensure that their effort and commitment towards sustainability will

be further enhanced.

5.3 Stakeholder’s Consultation Stakeholder consultation process carried out by taking a sample from the list of stakeholder

established by SOP Plantations (Beluru) Sdn. Bhd. It was noted that the objective of activity had

met to capture the view, opinion and expectation of interested parties as a result of operation run by

the organization.

Details of the outcome from the sessions has been reported in the Executive Summary Report.
