PT Gelora Mandiri Membangun conducted the identification and assessment of HCV and HCS with BIOREF of the Faculty of Forestry – IPB University in all of our oil palm plantation areas in 2016, However, it did not conform with the needs of our stakeholders.
In September 2020, we worked in collaboration with Ata Marie to conduct an HCV and HCS reassessment and identification. The field assessment began in November 2020 in Halmahera, North Maluku.
On August 2, 2023, the HCV & HCS assessment conducted on behalf of PT Gelora Mandiri Membangun (GMM) has attained “satisfactory” status.
