Kuala Terengganu, 25 March 2022 TDM Plantation Sdn. Bhd. (“TDMP”), the plantation division of TDM  Berhad (“TDM” or “Group”), has received the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) approved  by the European Commission (ISCC EU) for the second year in a row, effective from March 17, 2022, to March  16, 2023. This accreditation is accorded to the company following an independent technical review conducted on  the company’s supply chain, operations, and greenhouse gas (GHG) calculations by Trans Certification  International Sdn. Bhd. (TCISB), an ISCC registered certification body, at its South Zone operation units. 

The ISCC EU is a leading global certification system to demonstrate compliance with the legal sustainability  requirements laid down by the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II), covering the traceability,  environmental, and social aspects of biomass production. TDMP emerged as the first plantation company in  Terengganu to be certified with the ISCC EU certification back in 2021, based on the audit made to its first  gathering points (FGP) and oil mill (OM). It continues to replicate the same green practices and, at the same time, ramps up various efforts to minimise GHG emissions across its South Zone operation units.
