The palm oil industry adopts and implements sustainable and good agricultural practices, yet it has been accused of unsustainable practices including the destruction of rainforests and wildlife habitat, particularly the orangutan.
The Malaysian palm oil industry has not been spared by these accusations, despite numerous efforts to provide explanation and correct information.
The idea for the establishment of the Malaysian Palm Oil Green Conservation Foundation (MPOGCF) was therefore mooted by the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) in 2019 in order to support conservation initiatives related to the palm oil industry and to proof the commitment of the industry towards conserving our environment.
MPOGCF begin operations started in 2021.
