Foreword from Aida Greenbury,

Foreword from Aida Greenbury, Managing Director of Sustainability and Stakeholder Engagement, APP

This is the fourth report on our progress in implementing APPs wide ranging Sustainability Roadmap Vision 2020, announced in June 2012. It comes nine months after the introduction of the Forest Conservation Policy (FCP), which brought forward the moratorium on all natural forest clearance by two years. Since the policy was launched in February 2013 we have made considerable progress in carrying out the promised High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) assessments across all 38 of our suppliers concessions. As part of the HCV assessment process, we have begun the complex task of assessing peatland in our suppliers concessions. We have also initiated a policy of global responsible fibre sourcing, and begun implementing an increasingly effective social, community and conflict resolution programme. This report comes on the heels of a Greenpeace report assessing our progress in implementing the FCP. The report highlights achievements we have made, acknowledges the continuing commitment of our senior management to the policy, our transparency in reporting developments, and challenges we must address.

We welcome this report and look forward to continued engagement with Greenpeace and other stakeholders in the future. More details can be found later in this document. Our partner, TFT, continues to publish regular FCP Progress Updates available through the TFT website and via our online monitoring dashboard. A pilot version of the dashboard went live in June 2013 and we have been consulting stakeholders on its content since then. We encourage you to access both the monitoring dashboard and the TFT reports as a means of tracking our progress. As ever, your comments are welcome, and you can send these to us at sustainability@app.co.id

KeY HighLight:
Greenpeace Progress Review

On October 28th, Greenpeace published a progress review of our Forest Conservation Policy (FCP). The report assessed APPs progress in implementing the FCP policy commitments, highlighting areas of positive progress and ongoing challenges, as well as setting out criteria against which to judge the short and long-term success of our FCP. APP has welcomed the publication of the Greenpeace Progress Review. Full details of our response to that report, including the challenges raised, can be found on our website. APP is pleased that the Greenpeace report has recognised our efforts in moving ahead on key areas of the FCP implementation. That includes our overall implementation of the natural forest and undeveloped peatland moratoriums. The report also highlighted APPs self-disclosure of two FCP moratorium breaches and the corrective actions it has taken to improve the management and implementation of the FCP. Greenpeace also welcomes our decision to introduce independent third-party auditing of FCP implementation.

APP is in complete agreement with the criteria Greenpeace have set out in order to judge the short and long term success of its FCP. This includes the continued delivery of the forest and undeveloped peatland development moratoriums, the quality of the High Conservation Value (HCV), High Carbon Stock (HCS), peatland and social assessments, as well as the recommendations and enhanced management plans that will arise from these assessments. For more details on how APP is proposing to address the challenges raised in the Greenpeace report, please access our full response on our website. We welcome the clarity of advice that Greenpeace is giving customers wishing to engage with APP, stating that ongoing implementation of the FCP should be one of the conditions of doing business with the company. APP believes that additional scrutiny provided by buyers can only help APP in the continued implementation of the FCP. This level of engagement with customers will send a clear signal to the market that the actions being taken by APP are genuine and should be commended. The scrutiny of Greenpeace, and many other stakeholders, has been an important driver of our progress towards No Deforestation and greater transparency. We remain more committed than ever to the ambitious task we have set ourselves and look forward to continued engagement with Greenpeace and a range of other stakeholders in the months and years ahead.

EPN/EEPN Performance MiLestones

]
It is for this reason that APP has committed both to the introduction of an independent third-party auditing of FCP implementation, and to enhanced transparency measures (such as the FCP monitoring dashboard) that allow our stakeholders to track and monitor our progress. We have reviewed the EPN/EEPN performance milestones in detail and we are confident that our implementation of the FCP and Roadmap commitments is on track and that together with our stakeholders we will be able to address the challenges of implementing such an ambitious zero deforestation policy. APPs full response on how it is addressing the targets and milestones laid out by both the EPN and the EEPN can be found on our website.

In September, the European and North American Environmental Paper Networks published a report detailing seven performance milestones developed by their affiliated civil society organisations to help external stakeholders assess the implementation of our FCP and Sustainability Roadmap Vision 2020 commitments. The milestones cover the four FCP policy commitments as well as a number of the commitments laid out in our Sustainability Roadmap: Vision 2020. APP welcomes the introduction of the EPN/EEPN milestones and fully supports any measures that allow external parties to monitor our performance in delivering both the FCP and Roadmap commitments.

NaturaL Forest Wood Acceptance DeadLine

8
SECTION

The monitoring and processing of natural forest wood (NFW), previously known as Mixed Tropical Hardwood or MTH, cut prior to the introduction of the moratorium has been an important concern for our stakeholders since we announced the Forest Conservation Policy earlier this year. It was agreed that APPs mills would use all NFW cut prior to the moratorium and that a collaborative approach would be taken to monitor its consumption and traceability. However, following further consultation with stakeholders, we established a cut-off date, August 31st 2013, after which no further NFW cut prior to the moratorium could enter APPs pulp mills. After this date, APPs mills would not accept any further timber from natural forests as identified through High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) assessments. APP can confirm that as of 1st September 2013, APPs mills are no longer accepting any wood sourced from natural forests. Final stock inventory figures1 following adjustments to account for measurement uncertainty indicate that the total amount of pre-February NFW was 1,606,098 m3. Of this, 899,663 m3 had been received by APPs mills by August 31st 2013. Of the remaining NFW, APPs suppliers have sold 46,494 m3 to third parties, 56,120 m3 has been allocated for internal use (e.g. infrastructure), and handling losses account for 60,541 m3. 543,280m3 of NFW pulpwood remains stockpiled at APP suppliers concessions. APPs pulp mills will now process the NFW that remains in its log yards. TFT and APP will continue to track the processing of that NFW and provide details via APPs FCP monitoring dashboard. Independent Observers have been invited to join this monitoring process. The 543,280 m3 of NFW stockpiled across APP suppliers concessions is a fire risk, and an end use needs to be found for it. APP is currently working with stakeholders and NGOs to identify an alternative use for this pulpwood. For a breakdown of NFW processing figures please access APPs FCP Monitoring Dashboard.
Final stock inventory figures including all figures for the resolution of NFW cut prior to the February 5th moratorium were subject to very minor revisions on 1st November 2013, as a result of a final stock inventory validation exercise completed by TFT and APP. These minor revisions supersede NFW figures presented in TFTs 4th Progress Update.

IDENTIFICATION AND PROTECTION OF HIGH CONSERVATION VALUE (HCV) AND HIGH CARBON STOCK (HCS) FORESTS APP and its suppliers will only develop areas that are not forested, as identified through independent HCVF and HCS assessments. 1.1 [ Forest Clearance Moratorium ] With the launch of the FCP, APP suppliers implemented a moratorium on natural forest clearance effective February 1st 2013. The moratorium allows for High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) assessments to be undertaken. All areas identified as HCV and HCS will be protected as part of an integrated sustainable forest management plan. Since our 3rd Roadmap Progress Update was published in June 2013, an additional moratorium breach was identified as well as a breach of our FCP policy on new peatland development. These were self-reported by APP in September 2013. Since the FCP was announced in February 2013, there have been two forest moratorium breaches and a peatland development breach. APPs moratorium is in place across more than 2.6 million hectares of APP pulpwood suppliers concession areas. The two forest moratorium breaches have resulted in a total forest clearance of 140 hectares, in addition to the 27.8 hectare breach of new peatland development. Moratorium breaches PT. BDL and PT. SPM Following a TFT investigation of the case in PT Riau Indo Agropalma (RIA), APPs Joint Steering Committee (JSC) ordered an urgent review to determine whether other similar cases existed that could threaten APPs moratorium or implementation of its FCP. As a result of that review process, two APP pulpwood suppliers PT. Sekato Pratama Makmur (SPM) and PT. Bina Duta Laksana (BDL) in Riau were identified as having similar cases as the one in RIA. A subsequent investigation confirmed no forest moratorium breach had taken place at SPM but a breach of APPs FCP policy on new peatland development had occurred in BDL. It was not possible to determine whether the peatland area cleared (27.8 hectares) was HCS forest due to the fact that assessments were ongoing in this area.

The 27.8 hectares was cleared because, like in the RIA case, the FCP Implementation Team wrongly approved the continuation of development on forested land allocated for community use under the governments community livelihood area programme (TK) without prior consultation with the JSC. Moratorium breach South Sumatra In addition to the specific audit resulting from the RIA case, ongoing monitoring of FCP implementation by TFT and APP identified a moratorium breach in South Sumatra at PT. Bumi Andalas Permai (BAP), PT. Sebangun Bumi Andalas (SBA), and PT. Bumi Mekar Hijau (BMH), South Sumatra. A total area of 69.45 hectares of HCS was wrongly cleared in BMH, BAP and SBA after 1st February 2013, a result of land clearance in an area marked as a No Go zone during a pre-assessment phase of activity. APP requested that this pre-assessment be done in South Sumatra to identify low risk areas for ongoing plantation development in order to meet future pulpwood demand. Areas identified as No Go were awaiting full HCV, HCS and peatland assessments. The TFT/APP investigation indicated that the breach could have been avoided if operational teams had: a) been provided with a robust checklist of actions and documents for formal signoff; b) implemented more stringent supervision and monitoring process before any land development had occurred. No other land development operations across APPs supply base were subjected to pre-assessments. As a result of these cases, new procedures have now been introduced by APP/TFT to prevent any such issues from occurring again. Not only are we now addressing these issues, but we are also using the findings to improve the way we implement the FCP. Comprehensive TFT verification reports have been published for both of the above cases and can be accessed via APPs FCP monitoring dashboard.

1.2 [ HCV and HCS Assessments ] HCV and HCS assessments are currently underway across all 38 APP suppliers concessions across Indonesia. Asia Pacific Consulting Solutions (APCS) is conducting HCV assessments across 11 suppliers concessions and will complete them by Q4 2013. Ekologika is conducting HCV assessments on the other 27 concessions, due for completion in Q2 2014. TFT is conducting all HCS assessments. APP will use the assessment results and recommendations to develop a Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) plan detailing how it proposes to go about managing and protecting all areas identified as HCV and HCS.

Full assessments for the first 11 concessions have now been completed. APCS is finalising its draft reports before delivery to APP. Assessments across the 27 suppliers concessions are ongoing in Riau, East Kalimantan, West Kalimantan, and South Sumatra. Seven concessions are undergoing full assessment, while 20 concessions are in the pre-assessment stage. Ekologika aims to submit all reports to APP by end of March 2014. HCS assessments began in January 2013. The first priority 20 concessions are targeted for completion in Q4 2013 with the remaining 18 due in early 2014. The first wave of HCS stratification and field assessments for the first priority 20 concessions is now complete. Following a team review and additional analysis and work from external consultants, Ata Marie, a refinement stage and supplementary fieldwork are now required to improve the correlation between the GIS overlays (forest strata) and plot field data. The HCS team will initially test this process of refinement in a small pilot area before deploying across all other concessions areas.

1.3 [ Plantation Growth & Yield Assessment ] In 2012 and early 2013, independent Growth & Yield assessments were undertaken to review the long-term availability of plantation fibre to feed APP pulp mills. The assessments focused on the plantation growth and pulpwood log yields of APP suppliers plantations. In addition to an APP internal assessment, one initial assessment was conducted by TFT and a second was done by Ata Marie Group, a professional services group specialising in forest inventory, growth and yield modelling and wood supply forecasting. These provisional evaluations were completed in January 2013 and indicated that APP will have sufficient plantation resources to meet the long-term demand of its pulp mills. For more information, including an Ata Marie statement on APP wood flow projections, please visit our FCP monitoring dashboard. TFT and APP are now reviewing and verifying baseline growth and yield data through field visits. This data will be used to run updated system-wide projections on fibre supply and demand analysis. A key component of this is to strengthen APPs existing forest architecture planning to allow for an upgrade to a more integrated Plantation Yield Regulation System (PYRS). An initial evaluation covering seven forests, one pulp mill and one paper mill was completed at the end of June. The study will be extended to all 38 suppliers concession areas and is due for completion in December 2013.
1.4 [ Progress Tracking ]

APP has introduced an updated v 1.1 of the FCP dashboard monitoring tool. Developed in partnership with TFT, the monitoring tool allows interested parties to track the implementation of APPs Forest Conservation Policy. V 1.1 contains a number of updates and improvements including: - Concession-level HCV and HCS progress data; - Details on APPs approach to FCP implementation in China; - Details on APPs approach to supplier management and assessment - Updated grievance resolution data. APP has been consulting with stakeholders on the content of the dashboard. All input and feedback will be used to develop a revised v 2.0 that will go live in early 2014.

BEST PRACTICE PEATLAND MANAGEMENT APP will support the Government of Indonesias low emission development goal and its target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This will be achieved by ensuring that forested peatland is protected as part of the commitment to maintain HCVF and HCS forest and through best practice management to reduce and avoid GHG emissions within the peatland landscape. As part of the HCV assessment process being undertaken by APCS and Ekologika, areas of peatland are being identified within APPs supply chain. The findings of the HCV assessment reports and the peatland findings presented therein will help to inform a long-term peatland management and monitoring plan which will be created in consultation with an independent peat expert team. This will be integrated into APPs wider Sustainable Forest Management Plan. APP has already identified a number of candidates for the independent peat expert team, using recommendations made by partners, NGOs and consultants. The team will be formalised in due course.

3.

SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT In order to avoid and resolve social conflicts across its supply chain, APP will actively seek and incorporate input and feedback from a wide range of stakeholders and civil society on a number of social policies and procedures. 3.1 [ Transparency and engagement ] A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was held in Jakarta on October 31st. A continuation of the FGDs held earlier in the year, the objective was to update stakeholders on FCP progress implementation, and to invite input on how to address challenges and threats to the FCP. The session was attended by over 20 NGOs, civil society organisations, and regional and national government representatives. The challenges highlighted during the FGD were license overlap and social conflict in the moratorium area. Options for the use of harvested NFW and the future use of non-HCS/HCV MTH were also discussed. APP and TFT will use all input and feedback to develop and implement action points. Stakeholders will be invited to support in the implementation of these actions points.

China TFT and APP-China have reviewed APP-Chinas social conflict management system and conducted interviews and site-visits to a number of villages in North East Hainan selected from existing social conflict mapping documentation prepared by APP-China. A draft action plan for social engagement and conflict management across APP-China operations is now being reviewed internally. APP-China has added an additional staff member to the team to focus specifically on social engagement issues.This marked the first step in strengthening APP-Chinas social engagement team. APP-China and TFT will now provide capacity development and on-site training to all team members. APP-China staff also joined the FPIC training in Indonesia. APP-China, APP-HQ and TFT also held discussions with Landesa, who in collaboration with The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) conducted a study of APPs social performance in its plantation operations in China. Landesa presented their preliminary findings to APP-China, APP and TFT and these were incorporated into the aforementioned draft social engagement action plan for APP-China operations. The official report is expected to be provided to APP-China for review and comment before the end of the year. 3.2 [ Conflict mapping ] Indonesia Conflict mapping training has now been completed for more than 400 of APPs suppliers staff and managers. The aim of the training was to familiarise staff with APPs new conflict mapping approach and methodology and to strengthen their ability to carry out conflict mapping. Those trained were then asked to carry out conflict mapping using the new approach and methodology. Conflict mapping has now been completed across all 38 APP suppliers concessions.The objective of the mapping is to ensure that social conflict is identified, prioritised and managed appropriately. TFT has reviewed the mapping results and direct technical support has been provided to align the quality of the conflict mapping and APP suppliers staff understanding of the methodology and approach. TFT and APP are now in the process of developing action plans for all APP suppliers to determine whether any follow-up training is needed. APP will provide opportunities for relevant stakeholders to support APP in the implementation of action plans to address social conflicts. 3.3 [ Social conflict resolution progress ] Indonesia With the support of TFT, APP has been working to resolve a number of ongoing conflicts between APPs suppliers and local communities. These pilot projects are being used to test APPs conflict resolution approaches and methods and they will be used as learning and capacity building opportunities for APP teams as well as to build up engagement with local communities and civil society representatives. An ongoing land tenure conflict in Senyerang village, Jambi province, has been resolved following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by both parties at the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry in Jakarta. A number of other conflict resolution pilot projects are ongoing, including in Riau province and in South Sumatra. Details of APPs progress with these pilot projects can be found in the social engagement pages of our FCP monitoring dashboard.

3.4 [ New mill development Ogan Komiring llir, South Sumatra ] APPs FCP commitments - including its no-deforestation policy and the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) of indigenous people and local communities apply to all of APPs future development projects. With the support of TFT, APP has been mapping all communities likely to be impacted by the new mill development at Ogan Komiring llir in South Sumatra. An initial data analysis is complete and FPIC training for all the new mill managers is now underway. Once the training is completed, the FPIC process will begin. A number of stakeholders have also raised concerns about APPs ability to meet the forecast raw material demand of the new pulp mill. As mentioned in Section 1.3, independent Growth and Yield studies that were undertaken in Q3 and Q4 2012, alongside APPs own internal assessments, have indicated that APP will have sufficient plantation resources to meet the long term forecast demand of its pulp mills. To follow up on these assessments, TFT and APP are now reviewing and verifying baseline growth and yield data via field visits. Assessment results are expected in December 2013. Any unforeseen or unplanned shortfall in plantation fibre as a result of unavoidable plantation wood losses (e.g. through disease or wood handling) will, if necessary, be met through the purchase and import of certified plantation chips from overseas suppliers.

APP sources bre from all around the world and is developing measures to ensure that this sourcing supports responsible forest management. 4.1 [ Global suppliers ] Indonesia APPs FCP applies to all global suppliers. All Tier One2 global suppliers have been mapped and are being updated over time. APP applies a supplier evaluation and risk assessment (SERA) due diligence process to assess its global suppliers. With the help of TFT, APP is aligning SERA with both the FCP and Responsible Fibre Procurement and Processing Policy to ensure that global suppliers comply with the FCP. China In China, initial risk assessments of APPs 3rd party suppliers are ongoing. This is being done through interviews and meetings with APP pulp and paper mills as well as through a series of on-site visits. Activity has focused on APP-Chinas Jinhai pulp mill, Jingui pulp mill and Gold East, an APP-China paper mill. An independent social assessment has been conducted in APP-Chinas pulpwood concessions. APP-China is also consulting with stakeholders, including NGOs and government, to develop a conservation programme at Hainan island. Internal training at the Jinhai, Jingui and Gold East mills has also been conducted to present the RFPPP and FCP concepts to all key personnel from the procurement and quality control teams of all three mills.

4.2 [ FCP Association Procedure ] Following stakeholder consultations earlier in the year, APP has been developing an Association Procedure that aims to ensure that all future suppliers or acquisitions are compliant with our FCP and other policies. APP shared the elements of the draft Association Procedure with stakeholders during the last Focus Group Discussion held in Jakarta on October 31st. We will be seeking stakeholder feedback on the draft Association Procedure. 4.3 [ Responsible Fibre Procurement and Purchasing Policy (RFPPP) and supplier scorecard ] were completed in 2012 as part of a phase 1 of Responsible Fibre Procurement and Purchasing Policy (RFPPP) activity.

A phase 2 of activity began in Q2 2013 and involves the development of action plans for each supplier based on the findings of the initial scorecard assessments. This will continue until December 2013 at which point action plans will be implemented as part of a phase 3.
In China, TFT has been working with APP on the development

of a scorecard system; a tool for monitoring both APP-China operations and third party log/chip suppliers against APPs RFPPP. The scorecard places special focus on the assessment of management practices of mills and their associated wood origins. A first draft of the scorecard on chip mill and wood origin for 3rd party chip/log supplier is being developed. A second version of the scorecard for APP-China operations has been developed and is now under discussion with APP-China.

SustainabLe Forest Management PLanning

The FCP is designed to protect all natural forests, to conserve forested peatland, and to avoid and resolve social conflict in all of APP suppliers concessions. This will be achieved through the development and implementation of sustainable management practices across those concession areas. The development of management plans is dependent on the progress of the various assessments currently ongoing across APP suppliers concession areas. APP will provide more details regarding the development of the management plans in due course.

APPs Forest Conservation Policy applies to: 1. APP and all its suppliers in Indonesia. 2. Any Indonesian bre utilised by APPs mills elsewhere, including China. 3. All future expansion. High Conservation Value (HCV) and High Carbon Stock (HCS) Forests: Policy commitment 1: APP and its suppliers will only develop areas that are not forested, as identified through independent HCV and HCS assessments: From 1st February 2013 all natural forest clearance has been suspended whilst HCV and HCS assessments are completed. No further clearance of areas identified as forest will take place. APP has conducted an initial assessment of all of its supply chain. It has prioritised HCV and HCS assessments in those concessions that up to now have been supplying the company with natural forest fibre. HCV and HCS areas will be protected. On HCS work has started to identify the area and quality of forest cover. Satellite analysis, backed up by field work, will identify areas that will be protected as well as low carbon areas that can be developed as plantations. The HCS approach distinguishes natural forest from degraded lands with only small trees, scrub, or grass remaining. It separates vegetation into 6 different classes (stratification) through the combination of analysing satellite images and field plots. These thresholds are known in Indonesia as: High Density Forest (HK3), Medium Density Forest (HK2), Low Density/older regenerating Forest (HK1), Old Scrub/regenerating forest (BT), Young Scrub (BM), and Cleared/Open Land (LT). APPs threshold for HCS will be defined, following field analysis, within the category referred to as old scrub (BT). Any existing natural forest logs within APPs supply chain cut before 1st February 2013, such as stocks in log yards, will be utilised by its mills. Any fibre cleared from land which is not forest, such as scrub land, will also be utilised by its pulp mills. APP will withdraw from all purchase and other agreements with any supplier who is found not to be in compliance with these commitments. These commitments are being monitored by The Forest Trust. APP will welcome independent 3rd party observers to verify the implementation.

Policy commitment 2: APP will support the Government of Indonesias low emission development goal and its target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). This will be achieved by: Ensuring that forested peatland is protected as part of its commitment to maintain HCV and HCS forests. Best practice management to reduce and avoid GHG emissions within the peatland landscape. As part of achieving this, no further canal or other infrastructure activities will take place within undeveloped suppliers concessions on non-forested peatland until independent HCV assessments including input from peat experts has been completed.

Social and community engagement

Policy commitment 3: In order to avoid and resolve social conflicts across its supply chain APP will actively seek and incorporate input and feedback from a wide range of stakeholders, including civil society, as it implements the following set of principles: Free, Prior and Informed Consent of indigenous people and local communities Responsible handling of complaints Responsible resolution of conflicts Open and constructive dialogue with local, national and international stakeholders Empowering community development programs Respecting human rights Recognising and respecting the rights of its workers Compliance to all relevant laws and internationally accepted certification principles and criteria Where new plantations are proposed, APP will respect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, including recognition of customary land rights. APP has committed to independent HCV assessments as part of this commitment and will, in consultation with stakeholders, develop further measures to implement FPIC. APP will consult with NGOs and other stakeholders to ensure that its protocols and procedures for FPIC and conflict resolution are in accordance with international best practice.
