Transparency International Indonesia (TII) has identified the backgrounds of several directors and commissioners in Indonesian palm oil companies.

Of the 50 palm oil companies investigated, 33 (66%) had directors and commissioners classified as Politically-Exposed Persons (PEPs). At least 80 such individuals were spread across these 33 companies.

TII revealed that the largest number of individuals came from bureaucratic backgrounds or held, or had held, strategic positions. Both categories comprised 19 individuals each.

This was followed by 15 individuals with close ties or family relationships to PEPs, and 13 individuals with law enforcement backgrounds.

Furthermore, there were 7 individuals each with military backgrounds and those affiliated with oligarchs.

TII considers the identification of these influential individuals crucial due to the increased risk of corruption.

"The presence of individuals who currently hold or have held public office within company structures could significantly increase the likelihood of corruption, money laundering, and conflicts of interest," TII wrote.

TII's data collection encompassed not only parent companies but also their palm oil subsidiaries. TII also assigned PEP scores.

PT Sinar Mas Agro Resources and Technology Tbk received the highest score, 7.2 out of 10. Six of its directors and commissioners are PEPs. PT Multi Agro Gemilang Plantations Tbk also had six PEPs, but received a score of 1.2.

Data collection and analysis of the companies were conducted from August to November 2022.
