IOI to conduct audit on labour policies


IMove comes after report alleging abuse at plantations

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil giant IOI Corp Bhd will undergo an audit to assess the compliance of its labour policies and working conditions at its plantations, the firm said yesterday, 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.
