Synopsis: The Straits Times' executive editor Sumiko Tan gets up close with newsmakers over lunch - and a selfie.

Anderson Tanoto is a scion of the RGE group, which includes one of the world's largest paper and pulp producers. He talks about how he fights critics of its sustainability record.

RGE, which is headquartered in Singapore, deals in fibre, palm oil and gas. It has assets of US$25 billion (S$34 billion) and a workforce of 60,000 in Singapore, Indonesia, China, Brazil and Canada. Among many other things, it produces Paper One copier paper, viscose fibre used in textile, and palm oil.

Combined, RGE's companies have more than 1 million ha of forests in Indonesia and Brazil. That's the size of about 14 Singapores.

Mr Tanoto, 33 - fresh-faced, earnest, enlightened and Wharton-trained - is RGE's answer to naysayers. He has focused on sustainability, conservation and business transformation since he joined the group in 2013 at the age of 24.
