Executive Summaries

• REA initiated SHINES programme to support over 600 independent smallholders in Kutai Indonesia with RSPO certification and EUDR compliance through traceability and farm assessment tools.

• KOLTIVA’s KoltiTrace platform map and verify farm polygons across 10 cooperatives in East Kalimantan as a part of its support for SHINES programme.

• The programme protects up to 10,000 hectares of forest and supports 6 target villages through biodiversity and livelihood initiatives and will allow smallholders to receive market incentives, digital training, and partial payment support to meet EU regulations and secure long-term market access.

Jakarta, 14 July 2025 – PT REA KALTIM PLANTATIONS (REA), continues to advance its SHINES (SmallHolder INclusion for Ethical Sourcing) programme to improve the livelihood of smallholders through RSPO certification and European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance. Launched in October 2024, SHINES brings together corporate partners to drive transformative changes and foster shared responsibility across the value chain.

REA is a leading palm oil producer committed to sustainable, traceable, and inclusive production since 1991. A subsidiary of R.E.A. Holdings PLC, listed on the London Stock Exchange, REA operates in Balikpapan and East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Their operations span oil palm plantations, palm oil mills, and kernel crushing plants, complemented by forest conservation efforts covering approximately 18,000 hectares. Through initiatives like the SHINES programme, REA aims to enhance RSPO-certified supply chain compliance, improve productivity, and secure long-term market access for smallholders, aligning with evolving international regulations such as the EUDR.

“Smallholder inclusion is key to sustainable development,” said Bremen Yong, Group Chief Sustainability Officer of REA. “SHINES presents a strong business case that brings together stakeholders across the value chain to drive transformative change, improve livelihoods, and strengthen supply chain integrity,” added Bremen.

Through targeted interventions, REA ensures that producers comply with international regulations and gain improved access to economic opportunities. Smallholder cooperatives in Kutai Kartanegara, namely Koperasi Perkebunan Belayan Sejahtera, Gotong-Royong, Tunas Harapan, Bina Wana Sejahtera, and Karya Penoon are provided with training, technical support, and market incentives for those meeting EUDR requirements and industry standards, ensuring long-term compliance and market access.

KOLTIVA Supports SHINES with Mapping and Traceability Expertise for Sustainable Palm Oil

As part of the programme’s traceability and compliance component, REA engaged KOLTIVA, a Swiss-Indonesian agritech company, to provide technical support for polygon mapping, farm assessments, and the deployment of its traceability platform, KoltiTrace. This comprehensive solutions will facilitate more than 600 independent smallholders in ensuring full compliance with EUDR requirements.

“KOLTIVA’s work with REA underscores our shared commitment to building a resilient and sustainable palm oil supply chain. By integrating farm assessments, technological adaptation through KoltiTrace and training on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), we are enabling producers to meet the evolving regulatory landscape while improving their long-term economic prospects,” said Manfred Borer, CEO of KOLTIVA. Its approach combines innovative digital solutions with on-the-ground interventions, ensuring that producers can seamlessly navigate the complexities of global sustainability standards.

Related to this project, KOLTIVA is currently rolling out its KoltiTrace platform across 10 cooperatives in East Kalimantan, aiming to map and verify farm polygons. This digital traceability infrastructure provides the baseline for legal land verification and ongoing monitoring required under RSPO and EUDR standards.

Indonesia’s smallholder readiness for EUDR remains limited. Roughly 41% of Indonesia’s oil palm plantations—around 6.7 million hectares—are managed by independent smallholders, yet studies show only 1% of these smallholders are “cleanly and clearly” certified, meaning they meet traceability and legality requirements aligned with the EUDR. Major obstacles include inadequate geolocation data, unclear land tenure, and lack of digital systems. Without urgent action, many smallholders face exclusion from EU markets under the new regulation (Palm Oil Monitor, 2023 ).

The SHINES programme directly responds to this readiness gap by providing smallholders with the tools and support necessary to achieve traceability, certification, and compliance. It represents a tangible step toward closing these gaps, offering smallholders a viable pathway to meet regulatory requirements and secure long-term market access.

In the next phase, KOLTIVA will support the implementation of a segregation feature requested through the KoltiTrace FarmGate system update. This will allow suppliers to distinguish between EUDR-compliant and non-compliant Fresh Fruit Bunches at the point of delivery. This feature responds to a core requirement of the EUDR, which mandates that commodities from land plots with verified compliance must remain physically separated from those without supporting evidence (European Commission, n.d.).

Beyond Compliance: Landscape Impact and Livelihoods

As regulatory frameworks like the EUDR become more stringent, initiatives like SHINES play a crucial role in ensuring that producers are well-prepared to meet evolving compliance demands. Readiness for EUDR compliance significantly improves producer access to premium markets, highlighting the strategic importance of such programs in securing long-term sustainability and economic resilience.

Beyond compliance, SHINES also supports broader landscape-level outcomes. This includes protecting up to 10,000 hectares of forest areas beyond the concession, improving biodiversity connectivity, and launching livelihood programmes across six target villages. The programme is also structured to ensure fair value distribution across the supply chain by supporting price premiums for certified palm oil from smallholders.

“The SHINES programme has a transformational impact on smallholder livelihoods and sustainable palm oil production by bridging the gap between producers and global market demands,” said Jusupta Tarigan, Impact Program Manager Palm Oil, KOLTIVA.

Jakarta, Indonesia – PT SKF Industrial Indonesia (SKF) and PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support the Papua Football Academy (PFA) in competing in the Gothia Cup 2025. The MoU was signed by Satheswaran Mayachandran, President Director of PT SKF Industrial Indonesia, and Tony Wenas, President Director of PT Freeport Indonesia in Jakarta, Monday (26/5).

The signing ceremony, held in Jakarta, not only marked the beginning of a strategic collaboration but also celebrated youth empowerment through sports.

Satheswaran Mayachandran, President Director of PT SKF Industrial Indonesia, stated that SKF is committed not only to company’s business goals but also to their values: Collaboration, Care, Courage, and Curiosity. “Sports, especially football, can be a powerful tool for character-building, skill development, and community advancement. We are proud to partner with PTFI in supporting these exceptional young athletes. This collaboration is about nurturing future leaders through sports. By backing the PFA team at the Gothia Cup, we are investing in diversity, equality, and the limitless potential of Indonesia’s youth,” Satheswaran Mayachandran said.

Tony Wenas, President Director of PT Freeport Indonesia, is proud that the PFA Team is ready to compete in the Gothia Cup 2025 in Sweden. “For the past three years, PFA players have undergone a rigorous selection process by selecting more than 4,000 children, exploring and honing the best talents to be developed professionally. Now they are ready to compete in the international arena. This is a source of pride for Freeport Indonesia,” said Tony.

PFA is a Papuan football athlete development program formed by PTFI in 2022, with the aim of producing world-class Indonesian football athletes. PFA also provides formal education and skills development that support the formation of good character.

SKF is providing full support to three Indonesian youth teams set to participate in the Gothia Cup 2025 in Gothenburg, Sweden, from July 13–19, 2025. These teams are part of SKF Indonesia’s “Meet The World With SKF” program.

A Historic Milestone for Indonesian Teams at Gothia Cup

This year’s Gothia Cup holds special significance as it marks the tournament’s 50th anniversary. In 2025, three Indonesian teams from the “Meet The World With SKF Indonesia” program are competing. They are:

• Papua Football Academy (U-14) Team – They are the selected team from the ‘Meet The World With SKF PFA Selection Camp’ and the first exclusive Papua team to compete in the Gothia Cup. This PFA Team is a testament to PTFI’s commitment to inclusive youth development in Papua.
• U-13 Boys Team from Persib Cimahi Academy – Champions of the “Meet The World With SKF Road to Gothia Cup 2025” Grand Finale, held across six Indonesian cities (Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Solo, Makassar, and Pekanbaru). The squad was further strengthened by the addition of eight top talents scouted during the Grand Finale.
• U-13 Girls Team from SDN Srengseng 01 – Winners of the “Meet The World With SKF Girls School Challenge 2024”. The team will also include four All-Star players selected from the Girls School Challenge in Bandung and Tangerang (April 19–20, 2025). Coached by Yopie Riwoe, this team is historic as Indonesia’s first-ever girls’ team to participate in the Gothia Cup—a major milestone for women’s football and a testament to SKF’s CSR focus on female empowerment.

CSR Through Sports: “Meet the World with SKF”

This youth development initiative stems from SKF’s global CSR program, “Meet the World with SKF”, which nurtures young talent through sports as a means of personal and community growth. SKF is funding all logistical aspects for the teams—including tournament registration, international travel, accommodation, meals, team uniforms, and training equipment. The jerseys will feature the SKF logo, reflecting the company’s global commitment to youth and social development.

Bribery, particularly in the form of kickbacks remains a serious threat that undermines corporate integrity and damages institutional or organization reputation.

One recent case in Indonesia involved two senior officials at a state-owned banking institution who became suspects in the misuse of advertising funds through agency service procurement. In this scheme, the bank allocated a substantial advertising budget to several agencies, but a large portion of the funds was not used for actual media placements. Instead, the money was funneled back as kickbacks and served as unofficial internal funds.

Such practices are not confined to top executives. Similar patterns of corruption can also be found at the operational level in public services. In daily interactions with administrative offices, for instance, people often feel the need to offer cash bribes to expedite services.

Kickbacks, illicit payments made in exchange for securing business deals or favors are not limited to one industry or type of organization. They frequently occur across both public and private sectors. As seen in the earlier case, funds intended to support campaign activities were diverted for personal gain. Such practices not only disrupt fair business processes but also harm a broad range of stakeholders, including customers, partners, and the wider community.

Common barriers to effective Anti-Bribery programs

To address bribery risks effectively, raising awareness and fostering a culture of integrity across the organization is essential, not just through policies, but through ongoing education and engagement. A well-informed workforce is a company’s first line of defense against bribery and corruption.

According to the Thomson Reuters Risk & Compliance Survey Report 2023, organizations continue to face three major challenges in managing compliance risks. Two of the most significant are the lack of knowledgeable personnel and limited resources. These gaps not only hinder the implementation of Anti-Bribery Management Systems (ABMS) such as ISO 37001 but also affect the organization’s ability to respond swiftly to potential threats.

Without sufficient understanding and practical know-how among employees, even the most robust policies can fail to prevent misconduct. This highlights the need for scalable, accessible training solutions that can reach all levels of the organization, especially in environments with limited budgets or geographically dispersed teams.

A practical and scalable training solution

To overcome limitations in time, budget, and geographical reach, many organizations are turning to E-learning as a practical approach for ABMS training programs. E-learning offers a flexible and cost-effective way to equip employees at all levels with the essential knowledge to identify, prevent, and report bribery risks.

Integrity Indonesia has developed a comprehensive series of ABMS courses based on the ISO 37001:2016 standard, tailored to various levels of understanding, from introductory modules suitable for all employees to in-depth materials designed for implementers and internal auditors.

As an organization certified in ISO 37001, we not only offer structured learning but also share our firsthand experience in achieving certification. This includes practical insights into overcoming implementation challenges and fostering a culture of integrity across the organization.

Why companies should partner with Integrity Academy

With over two decades of proven experience in managing risks, uncovering misconduct, and promoting ethical business practices, we launched Integrity Academy to strengthen internal capabilities through structured learning. Initially developed to support internal training, such as New Employee Orientation, the service has now expanded to offer E-learning content for clients

Well-designed training programs such as the Anti-Bribery Management System course, offer several key features to deliver a more engaging and effective learning experience:

• Interactive multimedia modules featuring real-world case studies, interactive quizzes, and gamified elements to reinforce understanding.
• Flexible, self-paced learning accessible anytime and anywhere.
• A user-friendly E-learning platform, equipped with analytics to track learner progress.
• Automated certificates of completion.

Our service supports both off-the-shelf content for companies with their own E-learning platforms, as well as access through our platform, which can be custom-branded to reflect your company identity.

By investing in a trusted learning solution that helps organizations strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and embed a culture of integrity at every level.

• Over 25,000 Latin American smallholder coffee producers across eight countries, including Colombia, Brazil, and Honduras are now digitally validated by Koltiva’s KoltiTrace platform, enabling them to build more resilient, traceable supply chain, and facilitate global sustainability standards adherence.
• More than 80% of coffee is grown by smallholders on less than five hectares, often using traditional shade-grown methods that preserve biodiversity and improve soil retention (FAO, 2023). Koltiva supports these practices through digital tools like FarmXtension, FarmGate, and KoltiSkills—bringing and combining data driven decision making, agronomic training, environmental assessments, and real-time data to the field.
• By combining traceability, producer empowerment, and regenerative agriculture, Koltiva is equipping Latin American coffee producers to navigate climate risks and thrive in high-demand, sustainability-conscious markets. The result is a transparent, inclusive coffee ecosystem from bean to cup.

Bogota, 16 April 2025 — Climate change is placing unprecedented pressure on coffee-growing regions around the world. In Latin America, erratic weather, prolonged droughts, and shifting ecological patterns threaten crop yields and producer livelihoods. In response, KOLTIVA, a Swiss-Indonesian AgriTech company, is accelerating the digital transformation of coffee supply chains through its traceability platform, KoltiTrace.

To date, over 25,274 coffee producers across eight Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, Guatemala, and Colombia, have been digitally validated using KoltiTrace. These efforts are a part of the initiatives to build scalable, transparent, and inclusive sustainability solutions that are deeply rooted in the realities of farming communities. This will enable the producers and businesses to secure a long-term supply of high-quality coffee, enhancing producers’ livelihoods and community well-being, and safeguarding the environment. 

“Sustainability begins with visibility,” said Silvan Ziegler, Senior Head of Markets America at KOLTIVA. “KoltiTrace is more than a digital tool—it’s a data-driven transformation that empowers producers, agronomists, and companies to make informed, impactful decisions.”

Digital Tools Empowering Producers and Agronomists

Advanced technology, such as one incorporated in KoltiTrace, enables end-to-end supply chain traceability through real-time data collection, geospatial farm mapping, validation of sustainability indicators, and automated compliance tracking. With embedded tools like FarmXtension, FarmGate, and FarmCloud, KOLTIVA equips agronomists and producers with the digital resources they need to monitor farm practices, assess environmental and social impacts, and access personalized insights.

Through integrated digital and field-based services, it could assist producers on:

• Data collection and validation on producer practices, environmental performance, and social criteria.
• Verification of regenerative farming practices
• Compliance with sustainability and certification standards
• Gender equality and inclusive participation
• Accurate and timely monitoring of productivity and risks

These efforts are essential to building resilient, ethical coffee supply chains that can withstand climate and regulatory disruptions. It will be crucial to the coffee sector where more than 80% of the crop is produced by smallholder producers cultivating less than five hectares of land—often in steep, mountainous areas where traditional shade-grown methods prevail (FAO, 2023).

KOLTIVA supports these agroecological transitions by equipping producers with digital tools to map their farms, record on-farm practices, and assess environmental impact in real-time. By bridging traditional knowledge with precision agriculture, KOLTIVA is helping transform sustainability from aspiration to measurable progress across Latin America.

Supporting Local Farming Communities

By digitizing and validating thousands of smallholder coffee producers, KOLTIVA provides visibility into the often-informal agricultural landscape. This visibility opens up opportunities for producers to participate in sustainable markets, access agronomic support, and improve their income potential.

“We are learning how to use digital tools to make decisions based on data. That makes a big difference in how we manage the farm,” said one of the participating coffee producers in Colombia. “The support we receive through the program helps us grow better coffee and take care of our land.”

KOLTIVA complements its traceability platform with KoltiSkills, offering technical assistance and training in regenerative agriculture, polygon mapping for deforestation risk assessments, and hands-on support to farmers navigating sustainability standards.

“By carefully adapting our technology solutions to the specific needs of the producers, we’re not only ensuring traceability and compliance but also enhancing productivity through data-driven insights. Our goal is to equip producers with the tools to optimize their practices and achieve long-term sustainability in every aspect of their operations”, Angie Quintero added, Project Manager KOLTIVA working on several projects in Latin America. 

Shaping a Transparent and Equitable Future for Coffee

By embedding traceability at the core of supply chain systems, KOLTIVA enables companies to deliver on their environmental and social goals while empowering farmers at origin.

“This milestone underscores our belief that visibility and collaboration are the cornerstones of meaningful sustainability,” said Ziegler. “Through KoltiTrace, we’re not just tracking coffee—we’re building stronger connections between producers, buyers, and consumers.”

As coffee producers face intensifying climate risks, KOLTIVA’s traceability solutions stand as a powerful ally—strengthening the sector’s capacity to adapt, thrive, and grow responsibly.

Gothenburg, 27 March 2025: While others race to the moon and back, the Faroe Islands space program takes a bold new step in space exploration—without ever leaving Earth. One of the largest bearing manufacturers SKF, and ocean energy developer Minesto are launching a space program to harness the Moon’s energy by leveraging the power of the tides. This space program aims to utilize the resources we already have right here on Earth.

“Imagine a future powered by the tides of the Moon. This unique project dares to dream big and is exploring the potential of renewable tidal energy. At SKF we are proud to be a part of this down-to-earth project that aligns with our values and our ambition to create a more sustainable world,” says Annika Ölme, CTO & SVP, Technology Development, SKF.

Over the past year, SKF and Minesto have been pioneering tidal energy using tidal kites in the Atlantic Sea outside the Faroe Islands. The mission is to harness the Moon’s power for predictable and renewable energy. After its successful launch into the ocean, the tidal kite called LUNA is flying underwater, invisibly and silently harvesting energy from the Moon – no matter the weather. Today, only a few of the countries with favorable tidal current conditions are beginning to utilize the full potential of moon generated energy – the most predictable renewable energy source on the globe.

“For us, as a tech development company to work with a global industrial company such as SKF is both a learning experience and an inspiration,” says Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto. “We estimate there are at least 3000 more “Faroe Islands” out there qualifying for our space program – if they all join, moon energy could replace all coal power capacity currently under development globally.”

The established tidal energy facility – a moon energy base – will kick off the Faroe Islands Space Program, firmly grounded on Earth. The kite Luna has a rated power of 1.2 MW, enough to power 200 villas with electricity for one year. The next goal is to implement a new 200 MW tidal energy facility. This could meet 40% of the expected electricity needs in 2030, providing green electricity to the small, remote island nation’s 50,000 people and 70,000 sheep. Unlocking the power of the tides is a joint work together with power company Sev:

“Our vision is to reach 100% renewable electricity generation by 2030 and we believe that tidal power may prove to become a vital part of this journey,” says Hákun Djurhuus, CEO of the Faroese electricity company Sev.

SKF was brought on board to design the bearing and sealing systems for the rudders and elevators of the kites. The SKF software system calculates, for example, bearing rating life and estimates CO2 emissions, which makes it possible to compare different solutions not only from a technical perspective but also from a sustainability point of view.

“Collaboration across industries is essential for progress. Together with Minesto, we are demonstrating how technology and innovation can drive the transition to renewable energy,” says Annika Ölme, CTO & SVP, Technology Development, SKF.

By framing it as a space program (that never leaves earth), the partners aim to emphasize the importance of exploring how we can harness the Moon’s energy to generate renewable energy through tidal forces—amidst a new space race where many are discussing the potential of extracting resources from space and other planets.

Short facts tidal and ocean energy:

• According to the International Energy Agency, 80 % of global electricity currently comes from fossil fuels.
• By 2050, ocean energy could potentially provide a substantial portion of the energy mix. Ocean energy is local, renewable and tides are predictable, which makes it the perfect partner to more established renewables like wind and solar.
• Ocean energy Europe estimates that ocean energy can provide 10% of Europe’s electricity and create 400.000 skilled jobs by 2050.

Gothenburg, 5 March 2025: For over 100 years, SKF is recognized as a leader in products and solutions that reduce friction. Now, the company is stepping up its efforts, not just reducing friction but actively fighting it to move the world forward. The aim is to make industry smarter, more competitive, and more energy-efficient, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable society where more can be done with less.

To align the brand with today’s offering and values, SKF is making subtle but significant changes to its brand. The updated brand reflects the business SKF has become, helping the Group to further stand out in the industry, attract more customers, and drive profitable growth.

“Our brand is the accumulation of everything we do – innovations, values, people, reputation, communication and our desired future state. From a business perspective, we are building favourability among current and potential customers, employees, investors, partners, and beyond. It is a way of earning our place in the world while staying true to our values and purpose,” says Rickard Gustafson, President and CEO.

The new brand strategy builds on SKF’s historical, current, and future strengths, refining communication to tell a bigger story. This new direction aims to bridge the gap between SKF’s extensive impact on the world and public perception, which means highlighting the Group’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and industry leadership.

“Only a few companies in the world can reduce friction like SKF. Wherever there is rotation, we show up – from bicycles to high-speed trains, from paper mills to washing machines. A fantastic position to have, but also an inspiring story still to be told. We have been fighting friction since 1907 and today it is more relevant than ever before”, says Per Nilsson, Director Communication.

The refreshed brand identity is bolder and more modern, yet unmistakably SKF. It includes a subtly redesigned logo, a fresher blue, a new typeface, and more distinctive photography. As part of the update, SKF will also provide better marketing support for distributors, including a redesigned distributor identity that is simpler, more consistent, and easier to recognize.

“Through almost 120 years of innovation, we’ve developed products and solutions that reduce friction. Now we’re stepping that up. Not just reducing friction but actively fighting friction to move the world forward and telling the story about the difference we make,” says Rickard Gustafson, President and CEO.

Facts
These updates will be rolled out over the coming year across new marketing and communications materials, a refreshed website, and other digital channels. The logotype and other assets with the new brand identity could be found brandhub.skf.com
