The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (MARGMA) has clarified that the RM3.6 billion loss estimated to have been incurred by Top Glove Corp Bhd due to the import ban under the US Customs and Border Protection's (US CBP) Withhold Release Order (WRO), is actually a cumulative sum from a few affected companies. And it is an estimated loss in potential glove export revenue due to the WRO issue, and not an actual financial loss of any single company, said the association. The figure was arrived at based on various assumptions, it said, but did not elaborate. MARGMA said it stands corrected on the issue.

Berjaya Land Bhd (BLand) has pulled out from the deal to undertake a housing and mixed development project with an estimated gross development value of US$746.08 million (RM3.05 billion) in Yangon, Myanmar.

ISELIN, NJ, March 2, 2022 - Ansell, a world leader in personal protective equipment, continues to play a leading role in ensuring the protection of workers vulnerable to forced labor in supply chains within the medical supplies industry. On March 1, 2022, the newly-formed Responsible Glove Alliance (RGA) announced its launch, with Ansell one of seven founding members. Read the full RGA press release here.

The RGA will initially focus its efforts on the Malaysian rubber glove manufacturing industry. Malaysia is the world's largest producer of this product and the industry relies heavily on migrant labour. The RGA will work to identify, remediate and prevent the conditions giving rise to forced labor through recruitment transformation, collective influence, and the application of due diligence with advanced standards, tools and programs through the application of international standards and due diligence approaches aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP). Working in a pre-competitive, collaborative environment allows for consistent application of these standards in a more expedient and effective manner.

"We recognise that many labour rights challenges, particularly those facing the medical products and medical use glove industry, cannot be solved by any one company working alone," said Neil Salmon, Managing Director and CEO at Ansell. "Therefore, Ansell is pleased to be a founding member of this new organisation that will bring an aligned cross-industry focus to this pressing issue. We are confident that the shared ambitions and collective approach of the RGA and its members will bring significant improvement to conditions for workers in the glove industry supply chain."
