The Programme — Governance

GovernanceFramework

The Mentawai One programme operates under a governance model inspired by the Delaware Court of Chancery — prioritising long-term stakeholder value, ethical conduct, and accountability over short-term returns.

Ethical Oversight

Court of Chancery Model

Governance decisions are assessed against a stakeholder-first framework that balances investor returns, community benefit, environmental protection, and indigenous rights. No single interest dominates. Disputes are resolved through structured adjudication, not commercial expediency.

Accountability Standard

B Corp Certification — Mandatory, Not Optional

Every tenant, operator, and strategic partner within the SEZ must hold — or be actively pursuing — B Corp certification. This is a structural condition of participation, verified annually. It ensures that environmental and social performance is measured with the same rigour as financial returns.

Conservation Commitment

1–5% Structural Levy

All partners contribute between 1 and 5 per cent of revenues to the Mentawai Conservation Foundation. This levy is embedded in partnership agreements and is non-negotiable. It creates predictable, long-term funding for Siberut Island protection and indigenous community stewardship.

Governance by Design

B Corp mandatory, Chancery-style oversight, conservation levy — structural governance for long-term stakeholder value.
