KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 — Supermax Corporation Bhd is confident that workers at its sites are free from systemic forced labour and that it is not in violation of any of the 11 International Labour Organisation’s forced labour indicators.
Supermax said that it has embarked on its undertakings to meet the ILO standards since 2019 with the introduction of zero-cost recruitment fee, and was among the first in the industry to do so. In November 2021, the company engaged an experienced HR Consultant with in-depth experience in the social compliance field to help facilitate work on the compliance framework and guide its remediation process.
“The company has also removed the cut-off period for ex-workers remediation and implemented a higher than the statutory minimum wage in December 2021,” it said.
