Norway wealth fund ends observation of Supermax, two others


Norway's sovereign wealth fund has ended observation of Supermax, two years after placing the Malaysian medical glove maker under watch over allegations that the company contributes to human rights violations.

Norges Bank's decision comes over a year after the United States lifted a ban on Supermax, allowing it to resume sales. The company's imports were barred from the U.S. in October 2021 over the alleged forced labor practices.
