InfoSAWIT, KUALA LUMPUR — In a RSPO Annual Roundtable Conference on Sustainable Palm Oil (RT2025) in Kuala Lumpur, Henky Satrio Wibowo wore a subtle, confident smile. In his eyes radiated the resolve of a professional who has long walked a steady path toward one mission, sustainability. Now, that journey has entered a new chapter—he has officially been appointed as Sustainability Director of PT Sawit Sumbermas Sarana Tbk (SSMS) at the end of October.
To many within SSMS, Henky is far from a stranger. He is known as a figure who works with deep dedication and commitment—focused not only on results but also on the values that shape every process. “I always carry out my work with a strong sense of responsibility,” he told InfoSAWIT with characteristic modesty. Yet behind that brief statement lies a long story of hard work, consistency, and principles that he refuses to compromise.
Henky’s career in palm oil began in 2021—an entry that some might consider late. But his extensive experience across multiple industries, especially those connected to sustainable development, allowed him to adapt swiftly. He brought with him a fresh and strategic approach to integrating sustainability into the company’s business operations.
For Henky, sustainability is not a slogan or a passing industry trend—it is a philosophy. He believes that social responsibility and environmental stewardship must go hand in hand with economic growth. “Sustainability is not a choice, but an obligation,” he has often emphasized, a statement that perfectly reflects his mindset.
His passion for sustainability also extends beyond corporate walls. Through his involvement in various social and environmental organizations, Henky has seen firsthand that meaningful progress only happens when every party is included—from smallholders to large business leaders.
Now, as Sustainability Director, the responsibilities he carries are greater than ever. He becomes not only a guardian of the company’s sustainability direction, but also a bridge between business ambition and global expectations for sustainable palm oil. SSMS entrusts him to help strengthen the company’s evolving role in a global industry moving toward greener and more transparent supply chains.
Henky Satrio Wibowo’s ascent highlights that true leadership is forged through integrity and real action. From a humble professional devoted to progress, he rises as a respected figure—symbolizing SSMS’s renewed spirit in advancing sustainability with unwavering confidence.
In a palm oil industry that continues to transform, Henky’s name grows not only because of his new position but because of the values he carries, that sustainability is a lifelong journey, not a finish line. (T1)
