2.5 Summary of the findings for Partial Certification

The audit team assessed compliance with the above requirements during this audit. Failure to address any non-compliance identified may lead to certification suspension.

Overall findings are satisfactory; however, there are still room for improvement especially on internal audit procedures for all uncertified subsidiaries and new acquisition to ensure the requirements are met. Concerning the potential overlook of the implementation of the internal audit procedure, a minor non-compliance is raised. There are 6 estates currently sending the crops to the outside mill where these estates have not been included in the time bound plan. There will be a new POM in Berau, Kalimantan Timur as of the company’s plan on expansion of milling capacity and 2 new POMs in Medan and Sampit respectively under construction which will eventually added in the time bound plan when it is ready for commissioning. The company has also made decision to include Paloh Mill into certification by year 2015 and Mill 1 which consists of 100% of independent smallholders will be shut down within 3 years from now to adhere to the rules of partial certification.

Principle 4: Use of Appropriate Best Practices by Growers and Millers

Criterion by Audit

Summary

The mills and estates have a complete set of SOPs which is being strictly adhered to and continuously monitored. Soil fertility is being maintained in the fields and erosion prevention is continuously carried out. IPM is being implemented in all the estates and the use of chemicals are in accordance with the regulations. An observation was raised as in-concrete justification for the non-usage of biological control to mitigate rat attack. There is a comprehensive OSH policy and is being implemented throughout the estate and mill. There are some inconsistencies with HIRARC and an observation was raised for this aspect. Trainings are being carried out as per the Annual Training Plan.

ASA3 4.1 The mill has all its SOPs in place and these SOP covers all mill operations from FFB reception right until mill effluent treatment. These SOPs details the

Control Union (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. 150-A, 1st Floor, Persiaran Raja Muda Musa, Off Jalan Sg Bertih, Teluk Gadong, 41100, Klang, Selangor. Malaysia.

Tel: +603-3377 1600 / 1700

procedures to run each mill operation in an efficient and safe manner. The implementation of these SOPs is done through maintenance and record keeping of forms and data for, FFB incoming records, boiler smoke density records, sterilizer temperature and time records, steam flow record, water usage records, chemical test records, process control and production report and CPO stock inventory, spare parts inventory records and so on.

The estates have the ‘Good Agricultural Practices’ which is their guide in ensuring efficient and optimal field operations. These SOPs cover all estate operations from nursery until delivery of FFB to the mill and includes among others land clearing, land conservation, distance of planting, field maintenance, pest control, fertilizer application and harvesting. All SOPs are reviewed periodically or when there is a new technique of operation being introduced, records and data are kept for a period of seven years.

ASA3 4.2 Soil surveys and foliar sampling were carried out by Applied Agricultural Resources (AAR) Sdn. Bhd. which is a subsidiary of Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad on an annual basis. Records of these were sighted in the estate offices. Through these surveys and analysis, the optimum fertilizer to be used is recommended to cover the nutrient deficiencies that may exist for the palms. Application of EFB is also recommended to reduce the usage of inorganic fertilizers. Verified the EFB log book record for June 2013. Crossed check of the weigh bridge found satisfactory.

Checks on the records of fertilizer application indicate the fertilizer application is done based on the recommendation of AAR. Soil maps such as the general soil map, slope classes map and elevation map are also available and were sighted. These maps are used to provide general recommendations for soil and water management practices and to identify solutions to overcome soil limitations.

ASA3 4.3 Soil erosion is prevented through the following methods:

The planting of cover crops such as Mucuna bracteata and Pueraria javanica. The areas being planted with these cover crops are recorded in the monthly record books and marked on maps.

The presence of road maintenance programme. These road maintenance programme detail the type of road maintenance works to be carried out in each estate block and the cost involved in doing so. Budgets and actual expenditure for road maintenance works were sighted.

The application of EFB and frond stacking on slopes. This not only minimizes erosion but also enhances soil fertility.

Control of soil erosion is in accordance with the guidance stipulated in ‘SOP 8 – Erosion Control’. Soil maps and topography maps that clearly state the elevation and types of soil are also available in the estate offices.

ASA3 4.4 The estates have maintained the riparian buffer zones along rivers in accordance with the national and local regulations. Maps of buffer zone maintaining available including construction of culvert on certain river area. Estate has implement policy for no spraying at buffer zone area. There are no bunds, weirs nor dams that have been constructed along waterways in the estates. Field visits to the estates confirmed this fact.

Monthly Effluent Treatment Plant inspection checklist made available that acknowledged by mill staff & executives. Verified DOE log book with last visit acknowledged on 27/02/2013. Mill throughput for June 2013 is about 51.25 at average.

Rainfall data is collected and monitored on a daily basis. Since Oct 2012 to

Apr 2013 the total rainfall record registered [use of rain gauge] is in an average of 200mm. There are no water drainages into protected areas. Water management plans for the mill and estates were sighted. KDC Laboratory produced effluent test reports sighted for Dec 2012 – May 2013. Deoling tank flow meter and effluent pump flow meter records verified for 01 April – 16 June 2013. Water sampling programs and maps clearly documented.

Water pump house checklist is actively used on monthly basis with water management plan well documented. Quarterly water sampling analysis report for Before Received Pond, After Received Pond and Decimation Tank with pH reading at 6.7 in average. Total [Oct 2012 – May 2013] of 228097 of water usage [MT] as a whole for total FFB processed 163’566.48 MT. POM effluent discharge is diverted to trenches to Bornion estate. Verified the report for Detection and Identification of Coliform Bacteria and Escherichia coli in water that conducted by own KDC lab.

ASA3 4.5 IPM plan is documented as per the Good Agricultural Practices which includes beneficial planting and the use of biological control as opposed to chemical control of pests. Planning and realization of IPM programmes were monitored by mapping the beneficial plant to be planted with types of plant. The plans are monitored by daily completion of planting, expressed in meter of plants planted. Trainings are given to all staff on IPM.

The locations where barn owl cages are built are also mapped in each field and monitoring carried out by census where it records the division, area size, block no, month erected, box no, development stages of the owls(eggs, immature, mature), box condition, condition around the box. Pesticide was recorded included type of chemical, a.i, litre chemical, area applied by daily records.

An observation was issued for “However, concrete justification should be given for the absence of the utilization of biological control to mitigate rat attacks on palms”.
