APRIL is committed to the principle of community empowerment and actively supports and participates in economically viable and sustainable development programmes that foster community self-reliance.

Teluk Binjai Village Head, Syamsuir

We have a long-term commitment to be part of Riau Province’s economic and social fabric, hence building genuine and mutually beneficial relationships with local communities is an imperative for us. Our community partnership strategy is to create shared value, which means going well beyond legal compliance to form partnerships.

 

APRIL’s programmes and presence have brought benefits to the village, especially in the empowerment of our people.

These partnerships are based on trust, integrity, fair achievement of majority consent and respect for human rights. Our aim is to have a direct, lasting impact on the socio-economic wellbeing of those who live within our areas of operations. The communities whom we work with are spread across 150 villages throughout our operational areas in Riau Province, covering the districts of Pelalawan, Kuantan Singingi, Siak, Kampar and Meranti Island.
