Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia with an oil palm cultivation area of 1.56 million hectares which accounts for 27% of the total cultivated area in Malaysia. This case study focuses on the sustainability initiatives and outcomes by Sarawak Oil Palms Berhad (SOPB), a Sarawakian oil palms plantation company incorporated in Malaysia. This study shares SOPB's past experiences, present operational practices, its adoption of industry sustainability standards and certification schemes such as the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) and International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) and SOPB's future plans, in particular, biodiversity conservation efforts while juggling the competing goals of People, Planet and Profit.
