Innospec Expands Partnership to Combat Forced Labor in Indonesia, Boosting Human Rights and Sustainability Efforts

Innospec Inc (IOSP) has strengthened its partnership with the International Justice Mission to combat forced labor in Indonesia. The collaboration has already made significant strides in promoting human rights and ethical labor practices within the industry. Key achievements include training law enforcement, promoting a digital complaint system, and launching awareness campaigns. The partnership plans to expand its reach to additional provinces and implement aftercare systems for survivors of forced labor.

Innospec Inc. (NASDAQ: IOSP) has entered its second year of partnership with the International Justice Mission (IJM) to enhance protections for palm oil workers in Indonesia. This collaboration, initiated in 2024, aims to combat forced labor and human trafficking within the palm oil industry. Over the past year, the partnership has achieved significant milestones, including training over 50 law enforcement officials, implementing the "SUDAHI" digital complaint system, and launching a national awareness campaign.

Bruce McDonald, President of Performance Chemicals at Innospec, stated, "We believe that protecting workers' rights is not just a moral obligation but also fundamental to building sustainable supply chains. We are incredibly proud of the progress IJM has made so far through our partnership and remain committed to supporting their vital work. Our continued collaboration is helping to reshape the palm oil industry in Indonesia into one where dignity and fairness prevail."

The partnership will expand its reach to new provinces, including Sumatra and Riau Islands in 2025, with a focus on developing aftercare systems for survivors of forced labor. Peter Williams, International Justice Mission, Regional President, Asia Pacific, expressed gratitude for Innospec's commitment, noting that the partnership has been instrumental in advancing IJM's mission to uphold dignity, fairness, and justice in supply chains.
