In November 2019, FGV Holdings Berhad affiliated with the Fair Labor Association (FLA) and committed to uphold FLA standards, address labor issues, and drive long-term improvements to manage working conditions in its operations and those in its upstream supply chain. As part of the commitment, FGV published in March 2020 its Action Plan 2020, outlining the activities the company aimed to implement during the calendar year. The action plan was based on findings from the FLA’s internal management systems gap analysis, feedback from the field visits, and recommendations provided by CSOs working on human and labor rights and migration issues.
This new report provides a progress summary and corresponding details consolidating the actions taken by FGV and the FLA’s findings as of September 30, 2020.
