Socfin's response to SLAPPed but not silenced report

“... First and foremost, it is essential to underline that we do not question freedom of expression nor the right to criticize us. However, it is our responsibility to condemn false information and to defend the image of Socfin, it’s operations, and it’s stakeholders against actions or reports from groups that voluntarily stigmatize our activities.

We are committed to a respectful and transformative form of tropical agriculture that brings long term socio-economic progress and development. Please find more information on our website...”
