Heavily criticised Wilmar to meet planters to explain new CPO purchase policy


PETALING JAYA: Wilmar International Ltd, which has been heavily criticised for deciding not to buy crude palm oil (CPO) from some Sarawak planters by end-2015, is expected to meet up with the affected parties and state government agencies early next week to shed light on the group’s new CPO sourcing policy.

“Wilmar will be sending a group comprising consultants as well as plantation and forestry experts to Sibu and Miri possibly from Feb 25 onwards,” Wilmar general manager, group sustainability Simon Siburat said.
