Who We Are

Royal Golden Eagle's businesses operate on the 5Cs philosophy of doing what is good for the Community, Country, Climate and Customer, and only then will it be good for the Company.

Royal Golden Eagle is founded by Sukanto Tanoto, also its Chairman. Mr Tanoto started his first business in 1967 as a supplier of spare parts and construction contractor to the oil industry. In 1973, the visionary entrepreneur founded Royal Golden Eagle as a plywood business. RGE has since progressed from being a local-only player to become a truly global one. Today, its business groups are at the forefront of industries, with operations spanning Indonesia, China, Brazil, Canada, Spain and sales offices in more countries worldwide.

RGE 2030 Sustainability Commitments

Steered by Royal Golden Eagle’s 5Cs principle (Good for Community, Country, Climate, Customer, Company) and Sustainability Framework, Royal Golden Eagle’s business groups around the world have made sustainability commitments in the form of science-based measurable targets that are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and global sustainability trends.

Operating at the heart of the bio-economy, the Royal Golden Eagle business groups aim to deliver on their respective 2030 targets that would help communities and countries realise the SDGs. Through its continuous action and partnerships, we aim to create positive impact on climate change mitigation, human capital development, community development, as well as the environment.
