Southeast Asian clean energy firms do not have policies to protect environmental defenders: report

Quick Summary:

ACEN and B Grimm are among the renewables firms that lack policies to protect environment defenders in Southeast Asia, but they are the only companies with pledges to respect Indigenous peoples' rights, new analysis finds.

Vena Energy, which has operations in the Philippines, is facing issues surrounding its wind power project being built in the Masungi Georeserve, which is protected land with an ecosystem that may be harmed from drilling operations. But the firm reiterated that it has complied with government regulations in the pursuit of the project and is open to dialogue with stakeholders.

Vietnam’s Bamboo Capital Group, Gia Lai Electricity Joint Stock Company along with B Grimm, Gulf Energy, ACEN, Vena Energy, Kuala Lumpur-based Solarvest and Vietnam’s Bamboo Capital Group are among the region’s biggest renewable energy firms which have publicly committed to disclose key data regarding their performance on worker health and safety.
