Businesses play a critical role in ensuring that their operations are guided by policies and processes that support the responsibility to take action on human rights. This responsibility now extends across all levels of the supply chain which are directly linked to the businesses. Addressing the potential exposure of their supply chain to any practices that may cause or contribute to adverse impacts on people, the environment and society is fundamental in the due diligence process for responsible business conduct.

This update marks our third and final release in 2023, wherein the T4T – Supplier Transformation System self-assessment results were analysed. Three key areas are covered: i) Engagement with Supplier’s Supply Base on Sustainability, ii) Commitments to Uphold Labour Rights, and iii) Occupational Safety and Health.

During the 2022 self-assessment, IOI has extended invitations to 106 suppliers/millers who directly supply to IOI Edible Oils (IOIEO) refinery in Sandakan and IOI Pan-Century Edible Oils (IOI PCEO) in Johor. The self-assessment has also been extended to our tier-2 suppliers with invitations sent through our tier-1 direct suppliers.
