Sime Darby Plantation Berhad
As the world’s largest producer of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO), Sime Darby Plantation’s new board and key management lineup reflect the company’s vision to stamp its position as the industry leader on the global stage in the upstream sector, while aggressively growing in the downstream sector. Also key to the company are its commitments to sustainability and research and development, where Sime Darby Plantation is already widely acclaimed for its expertise and leadership.
“Sime Darby Plantation produces nearly a quarter or three million tonnes of the world’s CSPO and all but two of our 63 operating units are certified. We first made our commitment to sustainability in 2007 and we continue to deliver on it. This has required both dedication and discipline, and a willingness to take stock and implement change where necessary,” Sime Darby Plantation Chairman, Tan Sri Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said.
