Getting to Know PT Mayawana Persada: Sustainable Tree Plantation Management and the Commitment to Responsible Forestry

The forestry sector plays a vital role in providing renewable raw materials for diverse downstream industries while maintaining a delicate balance between economic vitality, social equity, and environmental integrity. Within this context, PT Mayawana Persada operates as an enterprise specializing in sustainable tree plantations, dedicated to managing cultivated stands to produce premium-grade wood fiber. Across all operations, we treat commercial production, environmental stewardship, occupational health and safety, and community relations as indivisible pillars of responsible business practice.

Brief History and Corporate Evolution

PT Mayawana Persada’s forestry operational framework has evolved steadily since its original plantation concession license was granted in 2010. Over time, the company's statutory operational licensing was updated through a decree issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry on December 10, 2021. Today, the enterprise manages a concession area spanning approximately 136,710 hectares across West Kalimantan Province.

Our corporate trajectory has focused on reinforcing forestry governance, standardizing silvicultural practices, elevating workforce capabilities, and adopting measurable operational benchmarks. A major milestone in this journey was securing the Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation (IFCC) Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) certification—credentialed under certificate number SFM-IFCC-MUTU-017 in October 2025, valid through October 2028.

For us, this certification is far more than a formal credential; it represents an ongoing commitment to continually raise our benchmarks for transparent corporate governance and sustainable landscape stewardship.

Operational Concession Footprint

PT Mayawana Persada’s working concession is situated in West Kalimantan Province, covering jurisdictions across Ketapang Regency and North Kayong Regency.

• In Ketapang Regency, the concession encompasses areas within Simpang Hulu and Simpang Dua Districts.
• In North Kayong Regency, the operational footprint spans Simpang Hilir, Teluk Batang, and Seponti Districts.

Managing a landscape of this magnitude reinforces our conviction that plantation operations reach far beyond wood harvesting. Responsible stewardship requires uncompromising focus on ecological functions, biodiversity conservation, hydrological management, workplace safety, and respectful social relations with surrounding communities.

Business Scope and Field Operations

As an enterprise dedicated to sustainable tree plantations, our operations encompass a continuous sequence of activities: strategic planning, site preparation, nursery propagation, planting, silvicultural tending, and responsible timber harvesting.

At the propagation stage, our central nursery facilities command an operational capacity to produce up to 3.5 million Acacia crassicarpa seedlings and 3.5 million Eucalyptus seedlings per month.

We execute operational planning under the regulatory provisions of the Forest Utilization Business License (Perizinan Berusaha Pemanfaatan Hutan or PBPH). Hydrological regulation, targeted species selection, ongoing stand maintenance, pre-harvest forest inventory cruising, and strict occupational safety protocols are fully embedded into daily field workflows.

Vision, Mission, and Sustainability Values

The vision of PT Mayawana Persada is to become a premier producer of high-grade plantation fiber while maximizing positive community contributions, generating local employment, and upholding uncompromising environmental, health, and safety standards.

Our core missions include:

• Developing plantation estates through sustainable, rotational silviculture
• Guaranteeing the legal origin and full traceability of all raw materials
• Implementing plantation mosaic landscapes that integrate production and natural habitats
• Actively supporting long-term conservation initiatives across the operational landscape

These values are codified in our corporate sustainability policies, which adhere directly to Sustainable Forest Management principles and IFCC benchmarks. We apply an integrated management framework designed to harmonize ecological health, social prosperity, and commercial output through systematic monitoring, routine evaluations, rigorous internal audits, and continuous improvement.

Contributions to the Environment and Local Communities

A responsible forestry enterprise holds social responsibilities that extend well beyond harvesting fiber. We actively run corporate social responsibility initiatives focused on community empowerment, educational advancement, basic healthcare support, regional welfare, and environmental conservation.

Published community programs include commercial broiler poultry farming training, non-timber forest product (NTFP) development, educational scholarships, and co-funding critical community public infrastructure.

Environmentally, conservation reserves and landscape ecology form an essential core of our spatial governance. Publicly accessible SFM-IFCC assessment documentation verifies the permanent gazetting of protected reserves and functional conservation areas distributed throughout our concession.

Building Trusted, Accountable Forestry Governance

For us, sustainability is not an empty marketing slogan; it is an active discipline requiring daily consistency, operational transparency, empirical evaluation, and sustained stakeholder engagement. Managing extensive forest concessions inevitably brings complex challenges—chief among them ensuring robust ecological safeguards while cultivating constructive, trust-based relationships with neighboring villages.

PT Mayawana Persada remains committed to refining governance structures, broadening public information disclosure, fostering open dialogue platforms with local populations, and enforcing rigorous environmental and social standards. This alignment ensures that our contributions to the national forestry sector directly reinforce ecological preservation and deliver generational benefits to local communities.

Ultimately, PT Mayawana Persada views the management of sustainable tree plantations as an enduring, generational commitment. Through robust corporate governance, workforce development, rigorous silvicultural standards, and genuine multi-stakeholder collaboration, we remain dedicated to modeling forestry practices that are productive, accountable, and sustainable.
