An undercover investigation by Global Witness exposed bribery for palm oil in Papua New Guinea. The investigation involved secretly filming a palm oil executive who admitted to paying bribes to public officials in exchange for logging permits and access to land. The executive was from East New Britain Resources Group (ENB), one of the largest logging and palm oil firms operating in Papua New Guinea. The bribes to a government minister typically ranged from 50,000 to 100,000 Papua New Guinean kina ($14,000-28,000). The CEO of ENB was also filmed describing a tax evasion scheme. Another palm oil firm, Tobar Investment, was caught discussing payments to a special police unit to suppress villagers opposed to their plantations. The palm oil from ENB has been used by major consumer goods companies, which severed ties with ENB after the investigation. This case highlights the role of political corruption in deforestation and the exploitation of Papua New Guinea's rich biodiversity.
