Expansion of cultivated land for palm oil and rubber production, is a major driver of deforestation and peat drainage in the Berbak landscape in Sumatra, Indonesia. SNV collaborates with supply chain actors to strengthen smallholder livelihoods, create business benefits for partnering companies, and mitigate deforestation and ecosystem degradation across the landscape.
The Berbak Green Prosperity Partnership has been set up to support sustainable management of the Berbak landscape through a low-carbon, inclusive economic growth model. The project (2016-2023) is co-funded by L'Oreal, MCA Indonesia and implemented by Euroconsult Mott MacDonald, SNV, ISCC, Deltares, several Indonesian Universities, and local civil society organisations.
SNV focuses on enhancing the sustainability of the palm oil and rubber sector by implementating a deforestation-free supply chains approach. We work along three key components:
Through the Berbak Green Prosperity Partnership, SNV supports Indonesia’s transition towards climate resilient, low emission sustainable development.
