As part of our dedication to upholding a sustainable and socially equitable palm oil industry, we are committed to ensuring that our operations are free from any form of exploitation, forced and bonded labour, human trafficking, slavery and child labour. FGV does not tolerate any form of human rights infringements nor do we compromise in any way our commitment to the labour rights of our workforce who are the cornerstone of our business. We stringently adhere to labour standards established by national laws and applicable international treaties and instruments. Our concerted efforts are guided by international human rights instruments including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), local regulatory requirements as well as the principles underpinning the MSPO and RSPO certification schemes. As a significant agribusiness group, we have a large global footprint and an associated complex supply chain, we have a supporting workforce of multiple nationalities and cultures operating in and interacting with diverse communities. Given these complexities, it is inevitable that the implementation of our human rights commitments may encounter occasional gaps. We commit to addressing and resolving gaps arising with urgency to the satisfaction of impacted parties and the relevant oversight authorities. We recognise that respecting human rights has to be a fundamental principle guiding the conduct of our business and we continue to strive to achieve the high human rights standards expected of us as an industry leader. Respecting and protecting human rights is a continuous endeavour consciously practiced and embedded into every aspect of our business and operations across the entire FGV Group. The framework and principles act as a reference point for FGV in developing policies including remediation measures.
