Coordinated approach for palm oil issues

“I think when you expect only one sector to take action, that is not going to resolve the issue. We also need to get input from the manufacturing and construction sectors,” said Wilmar's Perpetua George. — Reuters

KUALA LUMPUR: A palm oil industry player has called for a coordinated approach to deal with the issues in the palm oil industry, including the treatment of foreign labour in Malaysia.

Wilmar International Ltd general manager for group sustainability, Perpetua George, said foreign labour issues were happening in many sectors throughout the country, not just in the palm oil industry.
