The management plan shall identify the responsible person/persons. Major / Minor -TBF This plan shall incorporate a monitoring protocol, adaptive to operational changes, which shall be implemented to monitor the effectiveness of the mitigation measures. The plan shall be reviewed as a minimum every two years to reflect the results of monitoring and where there are operational changes that may have positive and negative environmental impacts. Major / Minor -TBF There were no major changes to the identified impacts since the establishment of the documents above. The Management plan for mitigation of environmental impacts, timeframe for action and responsible persons were not adequately followed up the Estate managers at the PMU. For instance at the Sahabat 26 estate, the buffer zone signage was placed for water pond for supply to the POM. However the extent of the boundary is not clearly demarcated. It is evidence that clear demarcation was also not done at the pond at Sahabat 34 estate. Although there are 3 man-made ponds in Sahabat 59 for water supply to the PMU, these ponds were adequately managed and closely monitored for the research purposes. Soil cover vegetation was planted along the banks to mitigate erosion. The monitoring of the documented environmental improvement plans is ongoing. Provision for the review had considered the mitigation of negative impacts and promotion of positive ones such as the proper identification of buffer zone, clearing of overgrown natural vegetation and debris along the streams Implementation and monitoring of the documented environmental improvement plans were reviewed on an annual basis. Environmental aspect & impact assessment (ref: FPI/L4/QOHSE-1.7 & FPI/L4/QOHSE-1.8, dated 1 May 2014) should include monitoring of domestic waste, & methane gas emitted from palm oil mill operation. Environmental aspect & impact assessment report filed at Sahabat S#59 (Tambisan) should include monitoring of diesel container, & potential spillage of diesel at gen-set areas (inside estate). Minor NC 8/14 OBS 4.

Information has been collated in a HCV assessment conducted by a consultancy company, Aksenta dated 23 march The exercise has taken into consideration all aspect of the environmentally sensitive areas such as ponds, streams, wildlife boundaries and were documented. The Sahabat 26, 34 and Sahabat Tambisan (59)

29 PMU estates visited are surrounded by palm oil estates. There are no neighbouring forest reserves to the PMU. Based on the review, there was no HCV area identified at these PMUs. Note: In the absence of HCVs, conservation areas i.e. buffer zones around ponds and along the stretches of streams which pass through the Sahabat 26, Sahabat 34 and Sahabat 59 PMU estates were identified. The Sahabat 59 estate has identified an area (Block 5C) which is considered not productive for the production of oil palm. Therefore a separate management regime should be implemented in order to preserve the area. Page 29 of 69 OBS Where rare, threatened or endangered (RTE) species, or HCVs, are present or are affected by plantation or mill operations, appropriate measures that are expected to maintain and/or enhance them shall be implemented through a management plan There shall be a programme to regularly educate the workforce about the status of these RTE species, and appropriate disciplinary measures shall be instigated in accordance with company rules and national law if any individual working for the company is found to capture, harm, collect or kill these species. Regular patrols within the POM and PMU were being carried out and findings recorded by the respective Estate executives to monitor the Conservation / buffer zone areas. The occasional sightings of various types of wildlife encountered were found to have been recorded. Monitoring and control of any illegal hunting, fishing or collecting activities was also implemented. Large signages that prohibit hunting, fishing and water polluting activities were verified on-site at all PMUs visited i.e. Sahabat 26, Sahabat 34, Sahabat 59 and found to have been satisfactorily maintained. The program to regularly educate the workforce and community about the status of these RTE species are also established with ongoing consultation with the relevant authorities at the Hamparan Budi group. There is evidence of commitment to discourage any illegal or inappropriate hunting, fishing or collecting activities via the signage erected around the affected areas which prohibit such activities Where a management plan has been created there shall be ongoing monitoring: The status of HCV and RTE species that are affected by plantation or mill operations shall be documented and reported; Outcomes of monitoring shall be fed back into the management plan. Major / Minor -TBF Where HCV set-asides with existing rights of local communities have been identified, there shall be evidence of a negotiated agreement that optimally safeguards both the HCVs and these rights. Major / Minor -TBF Criterion 5.3 Management plans were established and monitoring outcomes were reviewed by the Estate managers. There are no HCV or reported RTE at the Sahabat 26, 34 and 59 PMUs, Verification were made during on-site assessment and found to be satisfactory. Ongoing monitoring of the overall management plan on the status of any HCV and / or RTE species at the overall Hamparan Badai plantation areas is collated and reviewed by the HQ Sustainability team for the PMUs in the region. It is verified that there has been no instance of HCV set-aside that conflicts with the rights of local communities at the PMUs visited i.e. Sahabat 26, 34 and 59. Thus negotiated agreement of such nature is not applicable.

30 Page 30 of 69 Waste is reduced, recycled, re-used and disposed of in an environmentally and socially responsible manner All waste products and sources of pollution shall be identified and documented. Visits made to POM and PMU Sahabat 26, 34 and 59 showed that all waste products and sources of pollution were identified and documented. The documentation and identification of all the waste products such as scheduled waste, domestic waste, clinical waste and recyclable waste such as metal, plastic, mill waste and polluting materials e g. EFB, POME, Stack emissions and Boiler ashes were maintained and monitored at the POM. The mill and estates also have a proper Scheduled Waste Store for storing scheduled waste until time of disposal by DOE authorized waste disposal contractors e.g. Petrojadi Sdn Bhd. Scheduled Waste identified included spent hydraulic oil (SW 305), spent lubricant oil (SW 306), used chemical containers/drums (SW 409), used filters (SW 410), clinical waste (SW 404) and used batteries (SW 102). Appropriate secondary containment for the diesel skid tanks, chemical and scheduled waste storage areas was verified to be maintained. Segregation of wastes i.e. general wastes and scheduled wastes was verified to be satisfactory. Proper storage areas were identified for the storage of the recyclable wastes at the estates and mill All chemicals and their containers shall be disposed of responsibly. Major / Minor -TBF The disposal of used chemicals and containers were done accordingly to their schedule on waste management as planned.
