    1 Les conglomérats familiaux (4). Salim Group. Dominique Lorrain, CNRS (Latts, Ecole des Ponts ParisTech) Mars 2015 Après un "portrait d'entreprise" consacré aux groupes de la famille Suharto nous poursuivons par une présentation du groupe Salim qui nous semble exemplaire des capacités de transformation des conglomérats familiaux. Au départ il s'est développé dans le sillage du président Suharto et, de ce fait, il a failli être emporté par la vague qui conduisit à la démission du président. Mais il a su évoluer au bon moment. Les fils du fondateur ont été éduqués dans les meilleures universités américaines ; le plus jeune a pris les commandes en 1992 et comme le résume un observateur il a permis au groupe de passer d'un " connections-based to a market-based business model ". Le groupe Salim a survécu à trois chocs : crise asiatique 1997, changement politique en Indonésie 1998, retournement des dotcoms 2001. Salim Salim Djakarta Création vers 1955 par M.

  • Citigroup Cancels Financing of Indofood Over Palm Oil Labor Abuses
    Wednesday| June 19 2019 Citigroup Cancels Financing Of Indofood Over Palm Oil Labor Abuses Major Asian, European banks and US brands still linked to controversial company San Francisco, CA – Citigroup has canceled all financing to Indonesian food giant and agribusiness company Indofood (INDF:IJ) following the company’s ousting from the leading palm oil certification scheme, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Indofood’s palm oil subsidiaries were dropped from the RSPO after failing to address over 20 violations of the RSPO standard, as well as 10 violations of Indonesian labor law, both of which were found on Indofood-owned palm oil plantations. Citigroup’s cancellation of $140 million represents the loss of Indofood’s second largest source of funds from a Western bank. However, major Japanese, Indonesian, and European banks, as well as US brands such as Pepsico, continue to do business with Indofood. “We are glad to see Citigroup enforce its policy and cut ties with Indofood, as this company has been flouting Indonesian laws, certification standards and international business norms for far too long,” said Hana Heineken, Senior Campaigner on Responsible Finance with Rainforest Action Network (RAN). “This should send a strong signal to Indofood’s remaining financiers and business partners that Indofood is a bad investment.” The largest food company in Indonesia, Indofood has a market cap of 4 billion USD and is a core company of the Salim Group, which has the second largest oil palm land bank in Indonesia. The RSPO investigation of palm oil plantations operated by Indofood’s subsidiaries was sparked by a complaint against the company, brought by Rainforest Action Network (RAN), International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF) and Indonesian labor rights organization OPPUK in October 2016.
