The company is engaged in oil palm plantations (23) and palm oil mills (8) producing palm oil and palm kernel oil in Central Kalimantan. Around 75% of its landbank is certified according to the RSPO principles & criteria. It engages in refining palm oil and palm kernel oil through the refinery of another company owned by parent company, PT Citra Borneo Utama. PT SSS is engaged in oil palm agriculture and palm oil processing, forestry and fisheries, electricity supply and palm product trading. The company has received scrutiny in recent years over conflict with Indigenous communities and has been accused of suppling the palm oil leakage market.
