Banyuwangi – November 19, 2024 – Pandawa Agri Indonesia (PAI), an innovative leader in sustainable agricultural solutions, proudly announces that it is now a Certified B Corporation, making it the 28th Indonesian company to join a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.
B Corporation certification, issued by the global nonprofit network B Lab, recognizes companies that meet exceptional standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This certification requires businesses to demonstrate their commitment to benefiting all stakeholders—workers, customers, communities, and the environment—beyond just delivering profits to shareholders. The rigorous certification process evaluates a company’s impact across governance, sustainability practices, and community engagement.
“This certification is not just a milestone for Pandawa Agri; it’s a testament to our mission of transforming agriculture into a force for good. It underscores the company’s dedication to creating value for all stakeholders, fostering a sustainable future, and advancing the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy,” said Kukuh Roxa, CEO of Pandawa Agri Indonesia.
Since 2014, Pandawa Agri’s innovative pesticides reductants have been applied across 3 million hectares of land in Indonesia and Malaysia, eliminating the need for up to 2 million liters of pesticides annually. With an emissions footprint of just 0.65 kg CO2e per kilogram, these products provide an environmentally conscious alternative, significantly reducing the carbon impact associated with conventional herbicides. In addition to lowering emissions, they help protect soil and water quality while supporting pollinators vital to biodiversity and agricultural productivity, fostering healthier and more sustainable ecosystems.
Driving Sustainability in Plantations and Forestry
As a Certified B Corporation, Pandawa Agri delivers significant value to its plantation industry partners by offering solutions that help plantations and forestry reduce environmental impacts. Through its innovative products—Weed Solution (WS), Pest Solution (PS), and Envros—Pandawa Agri helps plantations achieve key sustainability metrics, such as lowering carbon footprints, minimizing chemical usage, improving soil health and microbial activity, as well as meeting globally recognized standards like RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil).
Pandawa Agri’s B Corp certification ensures trust and transparency, positioning it as a reliable partner for businesses aiming to meet evolving sustainability standards. This certification strengthens stakeholder confidence and enhances market positioning by allowing plantations to demonstrate credible, third-party-verified sustainability practices—crucial in addressing growing scrutiny from regulators, global markets, and eco-conscious consumers demanding environmentally responsible products and operations.
This certification reflects Pandawa Agri’s broader mission of transforming agricultural practices responsibly and regeneratively. It underscores the company’s ability to empower plantations and forestry sectors to achieve their sustainability objectives while contributing to a resilient and eco-friendly future.
Supporting Governments’ Sustainability Goals
Pandawa Agri’s B Corporation certification reinforces its alignment with Indonesia’s national development priorities and commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By championing sustainable agricultural practices, Pandawa Agri directly supports the government’s green economy agenda, contributing to reduced environmental degradation and fostering innovation in agriculture.
“With this certification, Pandawa Agri Indonesia reaffirms its commitment to being a catalyst for positive change,” said Kukuh. “This achievement is not just a recognition of our past efforts but a motivation to continue innovating and collaborating with our customers, partners, and the government to create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.”
