About Sustainable Commodities
The Sustainable Commodities (SusCom) team of WWF-Indonesia works beyond administrative boundaries to support the transition of food and agricultural systems in WWF’s priority landscapes in Indonesia. Our overarching vision for 2030 is to ensure that 30% of commodities are managed sustainably within supply chains that are climate-friendly and socially equitable.
This strategy is implemented through the integration of three pillars.
First, the Upstream pillar or Sustainable Landscape Production focuses on 50,000 hectares of land adopting sustainability and deforestation-free practices through the Strategi Jangka Benah, regenerative agriculture, strengthened digital traceability via the HAMURNI platform, and direct support to smallholder farmers.
Second, the Downstream pillar or Sustainable Demand Landscape promotes commitments from 50 domestic companies and engages global consumer markets in key countries to shift towards sustainable Indonesian commodities.
Third, the Advocacy and Policy pillar aims to strengthen governance and influence international partnership networks to advance Deforestation and Conversion Free (DCF) commitments.
Through the synchronization of comprehensive baseline data and an emphasis on inclusive collaboration that connects smallholder farmers, the private sector, and government, SusCom seeks to build a resilient, sustainable, and deforestation-free commodity ecosystem, forming the foundation for economic prosperity that is aligned with long-term environmental conservation.
Where and why We Work
Sustainable Commodities (SusCom) works across nine priority landscapes in Indonesia three in Sumatra, four in Kalimantan, and two in Papua, both within core landscape areas and in surrounding districts. This approach reflects the reality that commodity production areas and processing facilities supplying national and global markets are often located beyond landscape boundaries yet remain closely linked to the ecological and social dynamics of the landscapes themselves. These production areas intersect with critical conservation values, key wildlife habitats, and community livelihoods, while facing pressures such as deforestation, forest degradation, human–wildlife conflict, and unsustainable production practices that require integrated mitigation through the SusCom program.
How We Support Landscape Protection
Through a landscape approach, SusCom supports the protection and sustainable management of priority landscapes by strengthening responsible production practices at both site and supply chain levels. The program promotes nature-based solutions, builds the capacity of smallholders and businesses to meet global market requirements, and enhances supply chain traceability and accountability. By connecting market actors, local governments, communities, and landscape initiatives, SusCom helps ensure that commodity production contributes to ecosystem protection, resilient livelihoods, and long-term sustainability across Indonesia’s priority landscapes.
