PETALING JAYA: The palm oil industry, a key backbone of Malaysia’s national economic growth, can play a major role in powering a sustainable future for the country.

FGV Holdings Bhd, one of the world’s largest producers of crude palm oil, is among the forerunners of this effort by turning biomass by-products from its palm oil production into a source of energy, in line with the “protecting the environment” pillar under the group’s sustainability framework.
