Oxfam has condemned ANZ’s cutting of ties to the Cambodian sugar company implicated in the use of child labour and causing food shortages after forcing hundreds of families off their land. ANZ – without warning to the affected communities or the NGOs that support them - has severed its ties with Phnom Penh Sugar after the company suddenly repaid its entire loan. The company has been implicated in arbitrary arrests, intimidation of villagers and dangerous working conditions that resulted in worker deaths.
