Ethical Profile

Mixed.

R.E.A. Holdings PLC, a palm oil producer in Indonesia, faces significant ethical concerns. Its operations are a major driver of deforestation, leading to habitat loss for endangered species like orangutans and tigers. Critics point to the palm oil industry's inherent risks, including potential use of forced-labor suppliers, and reports suggest R.E.A. Holdings has conducted no supply-chain audits in the past decade, with its entire chain allegedly opaque. The company's local employment ratio is between 20-30%, and it recorded only two instances of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) participation in 2022, despite operating in areas with significant indigenous populations. While a Reconciliation Action Plan was endorsed in 2024, quantitative data on fair pay, worker safety, and environmental impact metrics remains largely unavailable.
