SRV2020 June 2013We launched our Sustainability Roadmap Vision 2020 in June 2012, setting our company on an ambitious path to embed sustainability at the heart of everything we do. In February 2013, we announced a new Forest Conservation Policy (FCP), which included a commitment to an immediate cessation of all natural forest clearance throughout our entire supply chain.
This third report brings you up to date with the latest developments, including an absolute deadline of 31 August 2013 for all natural forest wood felled prior to 1 February 2013 to have reached APP’s pulp mills. After this date, no natural forest ÀEUHZLOOEHDEOHWRHQWHU$33·VORJ\DUGV

We are still in the early stages of delivering the FCP and our systems are not yet perfect. ,QHYLWDEO\WKHUHZLOOEHFKDOOHQJHVDWÀUVWZKHQRSHUDWLQJDFURVVDKXJHODQGDUHDEXW let me be clear - our commitment to stop natural forest clearance was absolute. There are no planned exceptions. If an oversight is made during the implementation of FCP, we will address and use it to strengthen and improve our systems.
We have been engaging and consulting with stakeholders in Indonesia and beyond, responding to and investigating grievances, and continuing the hard work on the ground with The Forest Trust (TFT).
This update is published simultaneously with the re-launch of our website, www.asiapulppaper.com, which contains details of our Sustainability Roadmap and Forest Conservation Policy. APP is also unveiling a pilot online progress monitoring system, developed with TFT. This prototype version will be the subject of extensive consultation in the coming months, to ensure it meets the information and transparency requirements of our many stakeholders.
The Forest Conservation Policy and associated moratorium on natural forest clearance that was implemented on February 1st 2013 generated a

[ 1.3 Transparency ]
The new Forest Conservation Policy has been shared with local stakeholder groups in Indonesia through a series of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) in February and March 2013.
The aim of the FGDs and sharing sessions was to explain the content of the new FCP, to seek feedback on the draft FCP implementation protocols and to invite the active participation of Indonesian civil society in the implementation and monitoring process.
The inputs received from those discussions have been used to enhance APP’s FCP implementation protocols.
