The Business Case for Reduced Deforestation Palm Oil In Indonesia
Looking through a palm oil growers’ eyes GLF Cluster, London, Weds 10 June 2015!
Attracting investment requires a credible business case!
• Many companies have pledged “no deforestation” in their products – particularly western market facing downstream companies!
• However, delivering the change needed on the ground has significant implications for palm oil growers!
• Absent new regulations, they will only be motivated to invest in this change if their financial performance is maintained or enhanced. If not, the speed of change will be slow and naturally limited !

Discussion questions!
For an individual company!!• What are the key risks and opportunities that are or can drive private sector investment
in no deforestation palm oil? !
• Which of these can they not mitigate or cover themselves?!
• With this in mind, can an investment case currently be articulated and quantified?!!Looking across the industry, given the strategies being pursued, the known costs, challenges and risks, and anticipating how this might play out:!!• Who is currently bearing the cost burden? Who should bear it? !
• Are we at risk of a split market? How to we invest to avoid that? What is required beyond individual company objectives?!
• Who has influence to change investment landscape? What policy change needed? What, if any, leverage do lenders have? !
!
!
!
"#$%!&'#!()*+,**)'-!'-./! 30!
Key points!
• Delivering “no deforestation” is costly, and creates additional risks for companies!
• Cost burden is not falling equally – who is bearing and who should? !
• Policy change is needed to remove some of these barriers and risks associated with !
• Trade off here – risk social conflict as seek to reduce environmental impact !
