Papua (managed by PT Internusa Jaya Sejahtera), and one concession in South Sorong, West Papua province, which have not yet obtained all the necessary permits.5 In 2012 Indonusa reportedly bought a third Sumatran plantation company, PT Sawit Mas Perkasa in Jambi,6 whose previous owner had cleared land for timber but had not planted oil palm.7 It has not been confirmed whether this land was subsequently planted by the Indonusa Group. It is possible that there are other concessions controlled by the group, as its website claims that it is expanding in Sumatra, Kalimantan and Papua.8 At one time, Indonusa had two other plantation companies in West Papua province: PT Persada Utama Agromulia and PT Anugerah Sakti Internusa. However, shares in these companies were transferred in April 2014 to other individuals with no known connection to the Indonusa Group or Rosna Tjuatja.9

Greenpeace provided the group the opportunity to comment before publication of this report. On 13 September, after expiry of the time window for commenting, Indonusa replied, claiming that the group had ‘implemented policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) relating to NDPE Policy’. It claimed to have all the necessary permits for PT Indonusa Agromulia, PT Hamita Utama Karsa and PT Internusa Jaya Sejahtera but did not provide references for them. It clarified that ‘the purchase of PT Sawit Mas Perkasa in 2012 by Indonusa Group has been declared legally null and void’. Finally, it stated that ‘Land Clearing activities by PT IJS are… Secondary Forests’. The group failed to provide concession maps for its operations.
