In the recent editorial, “A Nobel Laureate’s Problem At Home"...the two authors managed to perpetuate a number of incorrect assumptions regarding Sime Darby Berhad’s operations in Liberia. As the world’s largest producer of certified sustainable palm oil, more than 80% of the Group’s production has been certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Thus, as is the case with all the Group’s plantation operations, Sime Darby Plantation Liberia (SDPL) is required to adhere strictly to RSPO’s sustainability policies, procedures and protocols including the prohibition on clearing virgin forests. We remain committed to the balanced development of the economy and the people of Liberia in line with the collective bargaining agreement of the Liberian workers’ union.
