Balancing Financial, Operational and Sustainability Performance
As the financial and operational performance of PT Teladan Prima Agro Tbk (TLDN) continues to grow, the Company has proven its commitment to balancing business economic values with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

In order for this ESG digitization to run effectively, the Company implements several key elements, such as: creating an ESG governance structure; building a data culture in TLDN; managing talent and skill needs; compiling enterprise-wide integrated databases, shared platforms, and AI for analytics and data quality control; developing proprietary algorithms and automation applications related to ESG and productivity management; and improving data acquisition systems for timely analysis and reporting.
