Following divestment by a major pension fund and criticism from NGOs due to deforestation resulting from its palm oil operations in Indonesia, POSCO INTERNATIONAL strengthened its policies and processes.
EOS introduced the company to two critical NGOs, leading to a successful collaboration culminating in commitments to adhere to internationally recognised standards and to restore forest areas.
Case studies are shown to demonstrate engagement, EOS does not make any investment recommendations and the information is not an offer to buy or sell securities.
