With a 66 + 33 year lease, Borneo.R is fully committed to Enviromental & Social Governance (ESG) sustainability. It has obtained full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approval in year 2020, as well as full planning permission approvals. It is one of the first, and one of the very few companies in the entire Lojing Highlands to obtain EIA certification. It is the only Company to have obtained full planning permission for its farms, at considerable expense.
EIA is essentially a planning mechanism for preventing environmental problems due to an action. It ensures that the potential problems are foreseen and addressed at an early stage in the project planning and design. Thus this will avoid costly mistakes in project implementation, either because of the environmental damages that are likely to arise during project implementation, or because of modifications that may be required subsequently in order to make the action environmentally acceptable.
