Corporate Governance

There are a range of principles of socially responsible investing rules in the Jatropha plantation business. Imagine we start a company called SORESIN (an abbreviation of SOcially RESponsible INvesting). The corporate governance of SORESIN should have the following corporate governance rules.

6.7.1

Business

SORESIN believes there is only one way to do business, and that is to invest in the farmers and their families who have given their trust, who have dared to hope that they have not been forgotten in the global economy, that there are businesses who understand that the only way to achieve real success is to measure it in human terms. A well-managed business will undoubtedly turn a good profit and provide a sound return, but a business that goes beyond the balance sheet can have effects that ripple into the future for generations to come.

SORESIN is committed to the social and economic development of the farmers, and have built those principles into the very core of our company.

SORESIN is planting Jatropha trees, because Jatropha removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helps restore soil fertility, and protects the land from wind

and water erosion. The roots of the Jatropha trees bind with the topsoil to make it less vulnerable to wind and penetrate the soil to allow infiltration of water, thereby reducing land degradation. This makes the crop ideal, especially for marginal soils where land degradation, desertification, and water stress are real problems.
