HAG khủng long trong tương lai

Global Witness calls for investors to drop Vietnamese rubber giant HAGL over failure to reform on land grabs
14th November 2013
Vietnamese rubber giant Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL) has failed to keep to commitments to address environmental and human rights abuses in its plantations in Cambodia and Laos, Global Witness said today. The campaign group says the company now poses a financial and reputational risk to its investors, including Deutsche Bank and the International Finance Corporation, and recommends they divest.

In May 2013, Global Witness’s Rubber Barons investigation revealed extensive social and environmental damage in and around HAGL’s plantations in Cambodia and Laos, including grabbing land from local communities and the clearing of large areas of forest. Despite the company committing to addressing these urgent problems, there is little evidence to show that anything has yet changed on the ground.

“HAGL has been very good at making commitments but very bad at keeping them. It’s been busy telling us and everyone else it’s serious about changing its ways, but the evidence indicates that logging is still carrying on and the people whose farms were bulldozed are still struggling to feed themselves,” said Megan MacInnes from Global Witness.

Global Witness gave HAGL and its investors six months to address the issues outlined in the Rubber Barons report and film. Following an initial meeting with Global Witness in June, the company issued a four-month freeze on clearing and planting within its concessions, and agreed to visit all affected villages to discuss and address problems local people were facing.

However, Global Witness interviewed people in seven villages around HAGL’s concessions in Cambodia in August. In three of these, people claimed that the company had not yet visited their village, whilst in the other four, it was reported that HAGL officials had refused to discuss disputes over land or forests. In six of these villages, people spoke of continued logging in and around HAGL’s rubber plantations, despite the moratorium. Independent satellite analysis of forest cover within HAGL’s concessions taken between July and August also indicated continued forest loss.

During a second meeting with Global Witness in September, HAGL agreed to an independent audit of its rubber plantations to address the concerns. However, the company has not delivered on this commitment, deciding to focus instead on “social programmes”, which appear to be little more than a PR exercise.

“November marks the end of the six-month deadline for the company to clean up this mess. HAGL’s inaction so far leaves us no choice but to conclude that it has little intention of taking these problems or its responsibilities seriously”, said Megan MacInnes. “Villagers suffering everyday as a result of HAGL’s concessions are all too aware of the environmental and social risks the company is taking - we think its investors should be concerned too, and as a result should divest”.

When questioned by Global Witness on 13th November 2013, HAGL refuted the lack of progress. The company stated it had provided jobs and implemented economic and social development projects (including building roads, houses and hospitals), but that the monsoon and Cambodia’s national election had prevented the company from accessing affected communities. HAGL claimed that their moratorium was being followed, describing the satellite evidence provided by Global Witness as “untrustworthy”. In addition, HAGL says it is “looking for an independent consulting firm to help HAGL make the survey and give advice to HAGL to improve the issues related to the communities” but that such consultants must be accompanied by company staff in order to “assure the consultant’s independency of their findings”.

Negotiations between Global Witness and a second Vietnamese company exposed in Rubber Barons – the Vietnam Rubber Group –– are ongoing.

Bài trên em tạm dịch ở đây

Trên f này bác không thể đánh giá người nào nhiều hay ít xiền, mình cũng không cần phải nói mình có bao nhiêu, mà quan trọng là chia sẻ kinh nghiệm và cách nhìn nhận, còn được thua thì bác hưởng, đôi khi thùng rỗng thì kêu to bác ạ, quan điểm của mình vẫn là nắm giữ, 2 tháng nữa bác kiểm chứng nhé! giá 20 chỉ là tiền sử.

Vấn đề lo lắng nhất của HAG chính là điều tương tự
Phương tây nó không tẩy chay HAG đâu, mà tẩy chay những thằng đầu tư vào HAG
Thử xem điều gì sẽ xảy ra với HAG khi mà người phương Tây tạo áp lực buộc Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, ... phải thoái vốn. Hay buộc các phải dừng các khoản vay mà HAG đang vay

Mình tin Anh Đức sẽ giải quyết được vụ này.

tt e chỉ quan sát thôi bác ak !

Quan sát và căn điểm mua đúng, vì tại sao trước ngày trả cổ tức em nó lao xuống? có phải tay to gom vào sẽ lợi thế khi nhận cổ tức và giá điều chỉnh xuống mức hấp dẫn không?

mấy con của a e chỉ thấy VIG là có thể cầm ! còn lại chịu a ak !

Lệnh táng như phá mã. Thế bác nghĩ những người đang táng HAG nó ko nghĩ HAG tốt ah. Thông tin tốt public hết rồi. Sao vẫn bán. Toàn lệnh lớn

Mình chơi dài hạn, nên penny thì chỉ kết nhất em VIG, HAG, CTG, CII trước mắt thì chưa có gì đột biến, nhưng nếu để ý xa một chút thì đầu tư mấy em này lại an toàn tuyệt đối, CTG cuối năm và q1/2014, CII thu phí ổn định tương lai chỉ có lãi và lãi.

Lệnh lớn là các tay to trao tay để đè thôi, khôn lo gì bác ạ, mình chơi HAG ko lướt lát thì chẳng sợ gì, phiên chiều nay sẽ cân bằng lại ngay thôi.
