Indonesian palm oil firm IndoAgri has unveiled a new sustainable palm oil policy in a bid to address documented environmental and labour abuses in its concessions, but environmental and labour activists have dismissed this effort as mere “corporate window-dressing”.
The firm came under fire last June when United States-based non-profit Rainforest Action Network, the International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF) and Indonesian NGO OPPUK documented extensive exploitation and worker safety violations on its concessions.
