ISF’s Grievance Procedure

How It Works

As part of our Sustainability Policy, Intercontinental Specialty Fats Sdn Bhd (ISF) has established a Grievance Procedure as a reference for our management to handle grievances lodged from any external parties. This provides a platform for all our stakeholders to address concerns and feedback for enhancing transparency and accountability in our supply chain.

When a complaint against a supplier is filed, we engage relevant parties to verify and discuss the issues raised in accordance with this procedure. In the event that the supplier does not engage effectively in the process towards resolution and compliance with our sustainability policy, ISF will review its relationship with that supplier. If immediate action is required but is not being taken, we will consider suspension of commercial activities. Business relationships are subject to termination as a last resort.
