Partnership Program

Earthqualizer Partnership Program is a holistic initiative addressing Indonesia’s palm oil challenges—conservation encroachment, social conflicts, and regulatory compliance—by integrating critical focus areas from environmental protection and community empowerment to compliance with Indonesia’s regulatory standards and global benchmarks like NDPE, RSPO, and the EU Green Deal. Using the Global Partnership for Recovery (GPR) model, the program unites resources to drive scalable, impactful change across the supply chain, enhancing environmental stewardship and sustainable livelihoods.

With advanced data analytics for Supplier Group Monitoring and Traceability, Earthqualizer equips partners with precise insights and compliance tools. Our governance model safeguards stakeholder interests, emphasizing both local impact and global standards. Covering over 30 million hectares and impacting 15 million lives, this program is one of the palm oil sector’s largest recovery initiatives, setting a transformative standard for enduring change.
