A report by Global Witness has revealed the extent of the human rights abuses linked to the palm oil industry in Papua New Guinea (PNG). A range of severe violations against local communities and workers are exposed in the report, implicating three major PNG oil producers, East New Britain Resources Group (ENB), Rimbunan Hijau Group (RH), and Bewani Oil Palm Plantations Ltd (Bewani). These companies are accused of using violence and coercion to eliminate any opposition to the extension of their production. Villagers resisting land acquisition and plantation activities are coerced into compliance through threats and physical violence. As a result, large-scale land grabs for palm oil plantations have resulted in the displacement of hundreds of families in PNG. Exploiting corrupt individuals within the national police force the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary, the companies intimidate villagers. Reported incidents include late-night raids where individuals were beaten and detained at gunpoint. In addition, the companies' employees often face exploitative practices. ENB has, for example, been reported to use child labour on their plantations, with children as young as ten reportedly working in hazardous conditions. Workers also often lack proper safety equipment, and safety and health incidents are often unreported or inadequately addressed._ Moreover, there are concerns over corrupt business practices across these companies, with ENB executives having admitted to bribing government officials to secure logging permits and land access.
