Quickest route to deliver impact on the ground

Execute sustainability fieldwork, anywhere in Indonesia.

Folium plants, monitors and verifies across 70+ sites — from mangrove coasts to peatland and agroforestry landscapes — then turns that work into communications your board, your regulator and your community can actually read.

What we do

Execution and communication, from one team.

Most sustainability programmes lose value in one of two places: the work never quite reaches the ground, or it does and nobody can explain it afterwards. Folium covers both ends.

01

Field execution

Tree planting, carbon measurement, biodiversity monitoring, landscape assessment and community engagement — delivered by our own project managers and a national partner network.

Communications & design

A dedicated content production, media and government relations team translates execution into online and offline campaigns, reporting narrative, web and visual design.

  • Embedded coaching and programme review clinics
Quantifiable ESG performance

Progress you can put in a report.

We go beyond tree planting. Every programme is designed to produce measurable results across three areas — and to map cleanly onto the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Carbon sequestration & climate action

  • Measure and report potential carbon sequestration from ongoing and future projects, contributing directly to Indonesia's NDCs under the Paris Agreement.
  • Help companies meet carbon neutrality goals by reducing emissions through reforestation or insetting along the supply chain.

Biodiversity conservation & ecosystem restoration

  • Protect endangered species and preserve Indonesia's unique ecosystems.
  • Strengthen biodiversity to boost ecosystem resilience and support sustainable development.

Socioeconomic benefits & community empowerment

  • Improve livelihoods by engaging communities directly in reforestation projects.
  • Reduce poverty, enhance education and empower women through direct community involvement.

Our community-driven projects directly support:

UN Sustainable Development Goals 1 No Poverty, 4 Quality Education, 5 Gender Equality, 13 Climate Action, and 15 Life on Land
Why Folium

Built for the compliance that's coming.

Lower cost of compliance

Our local partner network allows for speedy execution. With project initiation in just 14 days, Folium reduces the cost of CSR compliance while minimising operational disruption.

Continuity without upfront commitment

We manage sites with a landscape-level perspective, so even small projects contribute to the area's broader conservation goals — and expand seamlessly into a multiyear effort when more resources become available.

Future-proofed against carbon regulation

We help you stay ahead through offsetting, insetting, and both market and non-market approaches. OJK is preparing IFRS sustainability standards S1 and S2 as disclosure guidelines for issuers, with requirements effective as early as 2027.

Where we work

70+ planting sites across Indonesia's diverse ecosystems.

From lush rainforests to coastal mangroves and arid savannas. Sites are chosen to address a specific environmental challenge — and to create work, training and sustainable livelihoods in the regions where we operate.
