RSPO launches probe into alleged forced labour by Sime Plantation


RSPO chief executive officer designate, Beverley Postma, said: “We can confirm that an initial review of audit findings earlier this year did not generate any red flags against Sime Darby Plantation."

KUALA LUMPUR: The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has launched an immediate investigation into allegations of forced labour by Sime Darby Plantation Bhd and the action taken by the US Government.

It said on Thursday it was concerned about comments made to the media by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) about alleged violations by Sime Plantation and resulting in the US banning imports of palm oil from the company.
