Across Indonesia and Malaysia, we have a dedicated workforce of 14,000 people who are driven by a common purpose to make a difference where we work and live.

Goodhope attracts the best talent in the market and supports them with self-development opportunities to enrich their careers. Our people are empowered to make decisions, think differently, and always speak their truth.

Here's what they are saying:

“Always give your best to anyone who helps you in your struggle to achieve a bright future.”

Having worked with Goodhope for the past 16 years, I went from an Estate Manager to General Manager of the entire plantation operations for PT Agro Bukit Central Kalimantan. I appreciate how the Company takes care of not only me but also my whole family.

My role here this past 10 years has been exciting and challenging but I am glad to have contributed to the efficient JDE system for all our users in Goodhope.

“Stay positive, and the universe will drive you forward.”

Throughout my decade-long stint in Goodhope, I have gained a holistic understanding of the operations of a oil palm plantation. It was challenging but I persevered, and I even met my life partner here in Goodhope!

“Love your job as you do the people closest to you.”

As Logistics Manager for the Central Kalimantan region, I manage the direct outbound logistics operations for crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil. After 20 amazing years, I am grateful that Goodhope truly lives up to its name, giving ‘good hope’ to everyone in the Goodhope family, including me. I believe in its vision and mission and appreciate the fact that the company continuously motivates and invests in its people to be the best they can be.

“Neighboring plantations are not always greener; the most important thing is to keep our plantation the ‘greenest’.”

What I love about working with Goodhope is that we always receive our salary on time, giving us a strong sense of security. Goodhope has excellent medical facilities and the private insurance provided by Goodhope also allows me to get the best medical care – both my children were delivered in VVIP room facilities. After 12 long years, I can attest to the fact that Goodhope is indeed a great company to work with!

“Be grateful for the work that you do, remember it is giving your family a living.”

I first joined Goodhope in May 2010 and I rose rapidly within the company, from an Assistant Manager till today as the Acting Senior Manager. My family and I feel Goodhope is our second home for all the opportunities that the company has given us. I actively promote Goodhope to people who are looking to be part of a company that cares for its employees.
