ESG’s spotlight on local labour issues. [Newspaper] (2022)
Abstract
KUCHING (March 13): As Corporate Malaysia takes itself to task with environmental, social and governance (ESG) compliance, one section that comes under heightened scrutiny is labour, more specifically the welfare of labour workers both domestic and foreign.
Malaysia’s labour market has long been plagued by claims of unfairness by companies who seek to minimise costs while maximise profits, undercutting workers’ wages or right to decent living whilst under their employment.
Of late, pressure was piled on from the US Customs and Border Protection (US CBP) and their withhold release orders (WROs) on several Malaysian companies over allegations of forced labour.
