Sustainability Strategy and Pillars

At Japfa, we strive to embrace ESG aspects as part of everyday decision-making so as to achieve long term value for our Group and our stakeholders. This requires us to go beyond traditional thinking of being purely profit-driven and to take into consideration global responsibilities and stakeholders.

With a mission to provide affordable staple proteins to Emerging Asia, sustainability is deeply ingrained in our DNA and business.

When Mr Ferry Teguh Santosa established the business 50 years ago, he subtly brought in a sustainability philosophy, that years later was embodied in the vision of Growing Towards Mutual Prosperity. This heritage was enhanced by Mr Handojo Santosa who incorporated it in the depiction Japfa logo. Today, this vision remains fresh and relevant, and we aim to be at the forefront of our industry by implementing Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) practices across our operations.

We align our strategies with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“UN SDGs”). As we operate in Emerging Asia, where malnutrition is still an issue, we aim at contributing to UN SDG 2: Zero Hunger, to achieve food security and improved nutrition while promoting sustainable agriculture. Additionally, we seek to manage our resources and operations efficiently in line with UN SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns, with significant focus on managing its environmental impact across its global supply chain.

Today, Japfa supplies about 20-25% of staple proteins in many of the counties we operate in. As a leading efficient and low-cost protein producer, we can improve the diet of millions of people and promote sustainable practices in the agri-food industry working together with our stakeholders - from farmers to suppliers, local communities, employees, business partners and shareholders.

We established strong Sustainability Pillars to guide our efforts and the implementation of best practices in sustainability across the Group.
