As global demand for sustainable palm oil grows and regulations like the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) raise the bar, what does real implementation look like on the ground? This video takes you to Aceh, Indonesia, where stakeholders gathered to learn how NDPE commitments are being turned into action. From bridging gaps in awareness at the district level to connecting actors across the supply chain, from smallholders to global buyers, government, and civil society, Aceh NDPE Business Forum highlights that sustainability is not only shaped in boardrooms, but built locally. Through collaboration, shared responsibility, and a focus on people, forests, and livelihoods, real progress is being made. Through collaboration, shared responsibility, and a focus on people, forests, and livelihoods, this effort calls for stronger local NDPE implementation and the sharing of lessons to enable wider replication. Watch this video to discover what local stakeholders have to say and how collaboration is driving more sustainable palm oil supply chains. The forum and this video are made possible with the support of Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) under the Leuser Alas Singkil Riverbasin (LASR) programme implemented by Earthworm Foundation and Swisscontact. The programme is part of Sustainable Landscape Program Indonesia (SLPI) initiative. Earthworm’s work in Aceh is a collective action. Positioned at the intersection of supply chains and production regions, Earthworm's landscape-scale collective actions serve as hubs for scalable regeneration and address sustainability challenges. Apart from the grants, Aceh landscape is financially supported by Hershey, MARS, Nestlé, ADM Cares, Avril Group, Clariant, Colgate-Palmolive, The Clorox Company, General Mills, Givaudan, and Fuji Oil.The program benefits from the engagement of communities, local government, and other local stakeholders.
