PT Softex Indonesia

PT Softex Indonesia, a producer of sanitary paper products, serving baby, adult, and feminine care has achieved the Planet Mark certification. Achieving Planet Mark is based on the commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability in its business operations by measuring and reducing its carbon footprint and engaging its stakeholders. 

Understanding and measuring its carbon footprint is the first step in identifying ways to minimise its impact on the planet. This is the company’s fifth year of business carbon footprint reporting. In this Decade of Action, the company wants to ensure that they are a force for good: positively transforming society and the planet by measuring its own impact on the environment.

Since certifying, PT Softex Indonesia has set a target to reduce emissions by 5% annually. Over the next year, it will be working towards reducing its carbon emissions and sharing its journey with its community to inspire others. By being more strategic about its environmental responsibility, the company will be able to significantly increase its positive impact and hope to encourage continual improvements within its community.

The company already actively considers economic, environmental and social aspects in all decision-making processes with the aim of minimizing its environmental footprint. With the aim of minimising the ecological footprint of the business, its Research & Development team strives to use innovative technologies to continue reducing the weight of materials in its production lines.

Through Planet Mark, PT Softex Indonesia has protected an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Its pledge through Cool Earth directly supports the Asháninka community in Central Peru.

It has also helped the Eden Project – an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future.
