Plantation group IOI Corp to conduct audit after report alleging labour abuse


KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Palm oil giant IOI Corp will undergo an audit to assess the compliance of its labour policies and working conditions at its plantations, the firm said on Friday, following a report by a human rights group alleging violations.

Helsinki-based Finnwatch on Wednesday published a report alleging that Indian migrant workers at an IOI estate face poor living conditions, paid high recruitment fees, and were paid below the minimum wage.
